The Myth of the Introverted Leader: with Greg Weinger
Saturday, 6 December, 2025
In this episode, we explore one of the most persistent misconceptions in modern leadership—the belief that influence requires volume. Joining us is Greg Weinger, a seasoned product and technology executive with more than 20 years of experience proving that introverts and unconventional thinkers can not only lead, but excel. Greg is the author and host of Powerful Introvert, a Substack publication and podcast focused on helping introverts unlock their leadership potential.Our conversation challenges outdated assumptions about what leadership should look and sound like. We unpack why “quiet” is often misinterpreted as disengaged, how introverted leaders create impact through presence rather than performance, and why organizations still default to rewarding loudness over effectiveness. Greg shares insights from scaling startups 10X to $70M+ in revenue, highlights the strengths introverts bring to fast-moving environments, and explains how self-awareness, listening, and thoughtful decision-making often outperform high-volume leadership styles.We also dive into Greg’s interdisciplinary background—from English literature and creative writing to software engineering—and how this blend shapes his approach to storytelling, strategy, and leading teams. He offers practical guidance for introverted leaders navigating visibility pressure, unpacks the real cost of “performing extroversion,” and explores how technology, biometrics, and machine learning can support wellbeing and performance.Together, we redefine what effective leadership looks like and make a compelling case for embracing a broader, more inclusive spectrum of leadership styles—where quiet doesn’t mean small, and reflective doesn’t mean passive.Check out Greg's podcast here.
