I'm not sure I agree that introverts make poor managers or CEOs. If you look at the most successful business executives, many of them are not extroverted. Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg -- all hugely successful billionaires, all introverts.
I definitely disagree that introverts are not good team players. I consider myself an excellent team player, and clearly my superiors agree as I've been steadily climbing the ranks throughout my career. I work very effectively with my colleagues in an office setting, but I don't consider participating in after-work social activities a necessary attribute of a good team member.
