Introverts should understand that not everyone views conversation as a tool, meant to be used only when the task at hand requires it, Dorothy Tannahill-Moran writes. Extroverts see conversation as a means to build relationships; introverts need to understand this and make an effort to interact with co-workers on a daily basis. "Your failure to make an attempt to ‘relate’ will brand you as unfriendly and potentially difficult to work with," she says.
