Niels Jansen is Head of HR at LG Benelux.

Niels is passionate about developing people and creating environments where they can thrive through “Introvert Leadership”.

Introverted leaders are often underestimated but, in reality, they bring some of the most powerful qualities to leadership.In a world that often celebrates loud, charismatic leadership, introverts lead differently and that difference can be a major advantage.In this video, we explore what makes introverted leaders so effective, and why organizations should rethink what great leadership really looks like:

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘶𝘯𝘪𝘲𝘶𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩𝘴 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦
