God has always been about the business of shattering expectations, and in our culture, the standards of leadership are extroverted. It perfectly follows the biblical trend that God would choose the unexpected and the culturally "unfit" - like introverts - to lead his church for the sake of greater glory. Adam S. McHugh
About This Quote

In our current culture, extroversion is a prerequisite for leadership. We assume that leadership must be a way of life, and we assume that everyone must be a leader. We assume that leaders must be extroverts, and we assume that the only way to be a leader is by being an extrovert. All these assumptions are wrong. In fact, as this quote from Paul Tripp shows, there is no reason why the typical leadership model should apply to anyone other than those who are typical extroverts!
