IT Leadership Community (ITLC) Event – Work culture: building an introvert-friendly workplace
1pm-2pm ET
Join us for this session in an ITLC-sponsored series of informal discussions about leadership that are open to anyone in the IU IT community. In this session we will focus on building workplaces that are introvert-friendly. Society favors extroversion and our work environments are often biased against introverts. Join this session to discuss how we can create environments in which introverts (and extroverts) can thrive. Please review the resources identified to prepare for this session.

Normally, the Limited Change Period lasts for approximately two weeks. Dates for the Limited Change Period this fall are Tuesday 8/16/2022 00:01 through Tuesday 8/30/2022 23:59. During this time you may note a corresponding reduction in notifications of changes/updates.
