Any introverts out there who manage/supervise people? If so, what does that look like and how has your journey been? I’m an introvert wondering what going into management would look like. I enjoy accomplishing tangible task oriented things.

I used to oversee a team of 30, which as an introvert, was incredibly draining. Now that I have moved up, I oversee a Team of 5 (all remote or hybrid) and it is the perfect fit for me. I can help them grow, lead efficiently, and not feel like I want to crawl into bed the second I get home! I think working in management is about finding a position that’s a good fit. Good luck!

I've supervised at 2 previous positions and I found that smaller teams are easier to handle as an introvert personally. However as the previous post said, it's about finding what's the best fit for you. I think the actual management part depends on the field/business, as some businesses require KPIs and others are happy as long as the work is getting done so as a supervisor I was able to keep everything running smoothly for my team then everything was good for my higher ups.
