Quiet Revolution LLC is a privately owned, mission-based, for-profit, American company formed with a stated mission “to unlock the power of introverts for the benefit of us all.” The company has initiatives for business, government, office space planning, education, lifestyle and parenting. Quiet Revolution was formally launched in 2015 based on principles in Susan Cain’s 2012 book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking.
On January 24, 2012, Susan Cain published the non-fiction book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, becoming the focus of Time magazine's February 6, 2012 and delivering a February 28, 2012 TED talk whose video reached its first million views faster than any previous TED video. Her work became widely known, with Quiet reaching the The New York Times Best Seller list for non-fiction and, through August 2015, selling two million copies. Cain delivered over 100 speeches, sometimes receiving five figures for an appearance, as well as doing pro bono presentations.
Cain had been considering simply writing a second book on a different topic, but reader feedback convinced her that there was more to be done for introverts. After receiving the advice of author and marketer Seth Godin concerning what would actually change peoples’ lives, Cain decided instead to formally found a Quiet Revolution organization. Cain had informally urged people to join “the Quiet Revolution” as early as March 2012 on her thepowerofintroverts.com website, before it was subsumed under the formal company’s quietrev.com website in 2015.
Cain's second TED Talk (March 2014) formally announced Quiet Revolution as a “venture backed, mission-based” company. Headquartered near Nyack, New York, it is a for-profit company, having raised US$4.5 million in startup capital. Cain co-founded the company with Paul Scibetta, a former senior executive at J. P. Morgan Chase. As a management training arm within Quiet Revolution, Cain and Scibetta set up a Quiet Leadership Institute with chief executive (July 2015) Mike Erwin, a former professor of leadership and psychology at the U.S. Military Academy. Early members of the Board of Advisors included Douglas Conant (Campbell Soup former CEO), Adam Grant (Wharton School of Business) and Amy Cuddy (Harvard Business School).
