OFFERING DETAILS

Working Styles is a practical, one – day, facilitator –led leadership effectiveness program. It is designed to give organizations a sustainable competitive advantage based on a proven framework of interpersonal communication tools and skills that are necessary for understanding and working with individual differences in a variety of professional situations.

Based on assertiveness and responsiveness, the Social Styles model consists of four distinct interactive styles: Driver, Analytical, Amiable, and Expressive. Leaders learn the concepts and skills they need to identify other people’s Social Styles, recognize and appreciate the strengths of each style, and develop the interpersonal versatility to effectively adapt their behaviour to each style.

After learning many of the nuances around each style and exploring the power of interpretation versatility, participants are better able to describe the effects of perception and habit on the interpretations of behaviour – and recognize their own comfort zones. They can also quickly identify, and therefore leverage, the unique strengths of each Social Style present within their business units. Outcomes include reduced relationship tension and enhanced communication and productivity.
