Leadership today is solely equivalent with social dominance and extroversion, but it's leadership in solitude that has historically led to the greatest inventions and revolutionary ideas.
Solitude becomes necessary for rearranging any existing field of knowledge or creating new field of thought. Contemporary society is based on group think, while most creatives and inventors find solitude necessary for optimal performance
I support the open source culture and crowdsourcing platforms, but these platforms require the work of introverts to truly make it flourish. The rules of the game that apply online don't translate so neatly into real life. The same people thriving on these platforms of open source culture, if grouped in a single room would fail to create anything revolutionary. Group think is not always the solution for every circumstance.
