Prof. Karl Moore on “We Are All Ambiverts Now”: Rethinking Leadership for Introverts, Ambiverts, and Extroverts in the C-Suite
Prof. Karl Moore — McGill University professor, Thinkers50 nominee, Author, “We Are All Ambiverts Now”
In this insightful Xraised interview, Prof. Karl Moore Thinkers50 nominee, McGill University professor, keynote speaker, and internationally recognized leadership researcher—shares the ideas behind his latest book, We Are All Ambiverts Now: Introverts, Ambiverts and Extroverts in the C-Suite. Drawing on more than two decades of research and over 1,000 in-depth interviews with CEOs, prime ministers, cabinet ministers, and senior executives, Prof. Moore challenges long-standing assumptions about what effective leadership truly looks like in today’s complex business world.
The conversation begins with the core concept of the book: ambiversion. Prof. Moore explains why modern leaders can no longer rely solely on traditional extroverted traits such as dominance and constant visibility. Instead, the most effective executives today demonstrate the ability to move fluidly between introverted and extroverted behaviors knowing when to listen deeply, reflect, and build trust, and when to step forward, influence, and communicate decisively.
