☆ President Dimon would be square peg in Oval hole

NEW YORK, June 2 (Reuters Breakingviews) - The idea of Jamie Dimon running for U.S. president makes sense in one way: After helming JPMorgan (JPM.N), the biggest bank in the Western world, there aren’t many bigger jobs. There are big reasons, however, why Dimon would be a square peg in an Oval Office. If part of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s appeal rested on empty claims of business savvy, Dimon is the real deal. Trump’s financial failings and Epstein connections didn’t stick, but Dimon probably won’t want to test voters again.

☆ I took an office-personality quiz, and it turns out that as a remote worker, I'm a caged butterfly
▼ + stars: | 2023-03-08 | by ( Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Turns out, I'm a "break-room butterfly" who thrives on teams and doing in-person work. It's hard to let your inner break-room butterfly soar when the only break room in sight doubles as your kitchen. After all, what does an "office personality" even mean nowadays? My gregarious editor is a fellow break-room butterfly, our tight-ship boss is a cubicle cat, and another free-spirited, somewhat reclusive colleague is a couch koala. By extension, the very notion of an "office personality" is becoming outdated.

☆ Introverts, stop acting like extroverts to be successful—do this instead, experts say
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-21 | by ( Natasha Piñon | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

The research is clear: Making extra small talk or raising your hand for networking opportunities can help introverts find more energy, better social connections and higher levels of happiness. Extroverts may feel recharged and revitalized after some small talk, while introverts are ready to lie down, even if they enjoyed those conversations just as much. Of course, not every stereotypically extroverted action drains introverts: Some might love rowdy happy hours or off-the-cuff brainstorms. "Acting like an extrovert" might just mean reaching out to others more often, despite knowing you typically find those interaction tiring. A simple calculation can help you determine when to put yourself out there and when to pull back, Shapiro says.

Adults became less extroverted, open, agreeable and conscientious during the pandemic, a new study found. Past research has already demonstrated that personalities can change as we age or develop new habits like exercising. Past research has not found an association between exposure to natural disasters and personality changes. Damian's past research has also not found an overall change in personality traits among those affected by major storms like Hurricane Harvey. Sutin said one possible reason personalities didn't seem to change at the start of the pandemic is that there was a more hopeful attitude in 2020.

Here are seven alternatives to stand out at work as an introvert, according to behavioral experts. In a world that rewards boisterous extroversion, being an introvert at work can feel like a disadvantage. "We see this when you look at leadership statistics," said Susan Cain, the author of popular introvert bible "Quiet." "It's not so much about promoting yourself as it is about sharing expertise, which is a mindset that's much more comfortable for many introverts," Cain said. Cain said: "For many introverts speaking up takes a toll, so it's something that you want to do more strategically.
