10 Infj Characteristics That Make Them Great Leaders

10 Infj Characteristics That Make Them Great Leaders explores key ideas related to ai, presented clearly and practically.



When we think of a leader's personality type,

we tend to focus on extroverted types such

natural charisma and drive. However, INFJs

and other introverted types hold an unique set of

leadership skills that are unlike the leadership

styles we are so familiar with in today’s world.

Welcome or welcome back PSYCH-Os! Today we’re

going to talk about exactly that, the 10 things

INFJ characteristics that make them ideal leaders.

But before we get into it, have you liked

Alright, let’s get right into it starting with..

of natural planning skills that allows them to

communicate and dictate the most appropriate use

of time. And it’s fair to say that INFJs certainly

have this covered. INFJs are natural strategic

planners in their everyday lives, and when it

comes to leading other people, they can easily

piece together popper orders of action. In fact,

besides the fact that most INFJs run on to-do

lists and future-oriented goals, they also have

the knack for sifting out potential dead-ends,

unnecessary uses of time, and unideal outcomes,

making planning all that more specific and

particular. It’s as if they have the ability to

plan both forward and backward while ensuring they

properly balance their realistic ideas and their

idealism. This allows them to make goals that are

attainable in a way that encourages growth rather

than expecting and demanding immediate perfection.

It’s no question that the INFJ marches to the

beat of their own drum, paying little attention

to the social expectations that have been set out

for them. Well, when it comes to their leadership

styles, this couldn’t be more true. INFJs aren’t

afraid to use their creativity and imagination

in the workplace in order to find easier or more

enjoyable ways of doing things. They aren’t stuck

on tradition, and it’s fair to say that most

INFJs would never blindly implement something

just for the sake of implementing it. Everything

they encourage needs to have reasoning behind it,

and if that means going against the social

norms or not taking someone’s advice - then

so be it! INFJs are out-of-the-box thinkers,

and if they’re pushed to think inside the box,

they can’t lead to their fullest advantage.

Number 3: They choose purpose over profit

If money is the only driving force behind a

leadership position, you can bet an INFJ probably

won’t be sticking around for long. This isn’t

because they see anything wrong with that concept,

over a pay cheque. Especially when talking about

workplace leadership settings, the INFJ knows if

they’re spending the majority of their waking

hours leading a specific group or cause, they

want it to count! When it comes to entrepreneur

leadership styles, INFJs want to create products

and services that help humanity in some way, shape

or form. They are extremely cautious of the impact

of their actions, and if they’re the one at the

top, they want to be sure the ripple of their

actions and decisions work to help the world.

Number 4: They can easily see the bigger picture

INFJs are natural experts when it comes to

synthesizing information and past experiences

to create a bigger, more complex picture. They

see all aspects of life as interconnected,

so when it comes to leading, INFJs are able to

understand and properly value every contributing

aspect and position of the people they are

leading. But aside from that, this big-picture

ideal allows them to avoid getting caught up in

the unnecessary details, the small hardships or

pointless disagreements. This makes the INFJ more

focused on how they can connect people and ideas,

how they can properly encourage growth and how to

easily facilitate harmony within all components of

their team - a truly ideal leadership skill.

INFJs care about inner growth, but not only

concept of personal growth for everyone they

meet - especially those who look to them for

direction or advice. And so, when it comes to

being a leader, this INFJ characteristic becomes

beneficial in more ways than one. In fact, if

INFJ’s were a worldly leader, the changes they

choose to make in the world would not only help

themselves, but also inspire the change in others

in order for them to better themselves. Most

likely sourced from their introverted intuition,

inner growth within a workplace or society,

overall success of groups. So, besides the

empathetic portion of this inner growth concept,

they also see it from a logical standpoint.

INFJs love value, and they appreciate when things

are done right. They don’t like taking the easy

way out, skipping out on the minor details, or

turning a blind-eye on the crucial components of a

project or business. This balance of perfectionism

and high standards that all INFJs possess in their

day-to-day lives are only amplified when they’re

in the position of guidance. In fact, when INFJs

are responsible for the decisions and outcomes of

a project, they’re perfectionistic nature and

self-pressure can actually become overwhelming

at times for this reason. Yet, once they learn to

utilize this characteristic in a positive manner,

they can effectively use it to their advantage by

being a helpful rather than harmful self-critique.

INFJs may be perfectionistic, but they do

value rest & recharge time when needed. Now, I’m

sure that doesn’t come as a surprise, as INFJs are

known for their love of solitude, but it doesn’t

stop there. As a matter of fact, INFJs value the

power of self-reflection within their leadership

style and have a hesitancy towards encouraging the

concept of working relentlessly. Contradictory,

INFJs may have their times of all work, no play;

but they don’t wish that upon the people whom

they’re leading. They want to encourage the idea

that there’s more to life than success, deadlines,

and competition. Not to mention, avoiding burnout

is a major focus for this type, so as long as

everyone is doing their part, rest and relaxation

should always be encouraged in any INFJs eyes.

Number 8: They love and care unconditionally

When INFJs are in a leadership position, they come

with a little more modesty and empathy rather than

a need for power. Since it’s in their very nature

to care for and value people on a deep level,

these modest traits are just as apparent when

it comes to their leadership style. For example,

when it comes to playing the leadership role

in a corporate or working setting, INFJs don’t

view their people as replaceable money-making

machines for the sole purpose of personal gain,

profit or ego-boosting as so many leaders tend

to do. Instead, they truly value their employees

and team members as people and as workers, which

allows them to easily forgive, understand and

encourage their people on a deeper level.

Speaking of empathy, INFJs try to approach

every leadership challenge with humility.

They believe there is no room for callousness or

heartlessness within a workplace or group setting,

and they take the appropriate steps towards

creating a harmonious environment that can’t

be knocked down by such an avoidable aspect.

INFJs know that in order for harmony to happen,

they have to encourage it. They understand that

people need to be listened to and understood

rather than being harshly blamed for being

inadequate. This approach facilitates a proper

foundation for self-improvement because people are

much likely to grow and succeed when they have a

supportive leader behind them who sees their flaws

as a chance to learn rather than an imperfection.

Number 10: They are self aware in their actions

IFNJs don’t resort to pointing fingers, instead,

they retract and ruminate about how their

decisions may have contributed. They are able

to take a step back and get a good look at their

actions to decipher whether or not the outcome was

appropriate. Considering they are a naturally

self-reflecting type who holds extremely high

standards for themselves, they always want

to be leading by example. INFJs understand

that we can’t change for the better if we stay

blind to what needs to be changed. This allows

them to not only know when it’s time to pack it in

and when it's time to go full force on a decision,

but it also gives them a good idea of how their

actions are affecting other people and the

outcome of the project. In fact, self awareness

is one of those not-so-common leadership skills

that not many leaders demonstrate in today’s

world. Lucky for an INFJ, it comes naturally!

other characteristics make the INFJ a great
