INFP Traits and Leadership
INFPs can certainly express very extroverted qualities and traits, sometimes causing people to confuse them with ENFPs. While they might possess these more extroverted qualities, they are certainly still introverts.
INFP as CEO
An INFP is not going to want to be a CEO of a company unless it is one they founded and have other reasons to run. They certainly aren’t going to become one by climbing the management ranks. That is not something they are going to be motivated to do, at least not for its own sake.
