(and make magic with) people who have skills very different from
your own.”
—Seth Godin, author of The Icarus Deception
“Kahnweiler is here to teach introverts and extroverts how to

something valuable from this book no matter where you fall on the
continuum.”
—Daniel H. Pink, author of To Sell Is Human and Drive

their differences to achieve excellent results together.”

difference.”

Kahnweiler (Quiet Influence) asserts that introvert-extrovert
relationships are most successful when opposites stop focusing on
their dissimilarities and apply approaches that steer them towards
results. She posits a five-step, “ABC” process by which to do this:
accept the alien, bring on the battles, cast the character, destroy
the dislike, and realize that each can’t offer everything. Her
advice to both intro- and extroverts to be patient with and learn
from the other promises superior results. VERDICT: Helpful in
comprehending and appreciating the differences in others.
