As an introvert, I often relate to other introverted team members. I strive to create a culture of psychological safety where all team members feel secure sharing their thoughts, knowing they won't face judgment or criticism. I suggest meetings with structured formats that allocate time for everyone to contribute. This can ensure that all team members have an opportunity to voice their opinions. One-on-one's are also necessary, and can help them feel valued and encourage them to share more freely in group settings. Lastly, recognize that only some communicate best verbally. Encourage written communication, such as emails or collaborative documents, where quieter individuals may feel more comfortable expressing their ideas.

To engage introverted team members, create a comfortable environment that encourages their input. For example, instead of putting them on the spot in meetings, provide agendas in advance so they have time to prepare. Offer opportunities for written feedback or one-on-one discussions, which may suit their communication style better. Recognize and appreciate their contributions privately or in smaller groups. By allowing space for thoughtful contributions and tailoring your approach to their strengths, you can draw out valuable insights that might otherwise go unheard.

Pessoas introvertidas não necessariamente tem dificuldade ou timidez para comunicar. É importante mostrar ao membro da equipe que ele é aceito, acolhido e valorizado dentro do time. Isso pode ser feito por meio de feedbacks intencionais e detalhados sobre o trabalho da pessoa, integração dela em bate-papos durante almoços de time e happy-hours e perguntas sobre os interesses e hobbies dela. A partir destas interações saudáveis, o time irá aprender a comunicar-se de forma efetiva com esse membro. Pode-se perceber que, embora introvertido, ele comunique-se bem em público, seja presencialmente ou por vídeo. Caso a pessoa se comunique melhor ao escrever, ela pode ser requisitada via email ou documentos colaborativos a expor suas ideias.
