Führung: „Die Anerkennung für meine Arbeit bekommt jemand über mir“ – Das Leid der stillen Schaffer
Oft sind laute Mitarbeiter erfolgreich, auch weil sie Führungskräften eher auffallen. Doch meist halten die Stillen ein Unternehmen am Laufen. Wie es gelingt, Introvertierte nicht länger zu übersehen.
Sophie Schütze has been working at her job for over seven years and often feels undervalued, but she usually keeps her frustration to herself. She is responsible for organizing, prioritizing, scheduling, making phone calls, checking the completeness of files, and arranging missing documents. Schütze believes in high-quality work delivered on time, but she fears her personal achievements may not be recognized.
Introverted employees like Schütze often remain silent for fear of being undermined and don't want to stand out due to the structural preference for extroverted individuals in the workplace. While introverts thrive in quiet concentration and often deliver meticulous work, they tend to receive little recognition. Chefs, including Katja Schwalbach, recognize structural issues in the workplace that overlook diligent, yet quiet employees.
Schwalbach suggests that managers should become more familiar with introverted individuals and learn how to better support them. Simple gestures like a simple thank you from managers can make a significant difference for introverted employees.
