The paper notes that this balance becomes more difficult when one focuses on the technology support division. The paper further notes that many companies today have taken a proactive approach at creating an almost hybrid model of a technology employee who is equipped with a pocket protector and some serious people skills.

From the Paper:

"The extraversion that Warren wrote about is one of the major issues that companies are looking to combat today with their technology support teams and understanding each team member's respective personality is crucial when building a technology support team. For instance a technology manager might want to think first before pairing an employee who is highly extroverted with one that is the opposite. A better choice might entail placing the highly introverted employee with someone who is somewhere in-between the ends of each scale. "
