Social Style is all about
who you are with others
What is it?
SOCIAL STYLE is the world’s leading Behavioral Style model. It has been used by thousands of organizations to improve leadership performance and sales results.
SOCIAL STYLE is powerful because it’s easy to understand and easy to apply with others. It makes your relationships more effective. Years of research into workplace success have shown that people are one of four SOCIAL STYLEs, each with their own preferred way of acting, thinking and making decisions. Understanding those preferences allows you to determine the best way to interact with anyone.
Each Style represents itself through people’s daily interactions. At surface level, each Style is closely linked to whether an individual tends to assert himself or respond to others in social settings, and whether he tends to display emotion or secure control in group settings.
Why is it valuable?
Because SOCIAL STYLE is based on observable behavior you can quickly identify a person’s preferences and make informed choices to make that person comfortable. This ability to moderate your behavior is what we call Versatility.
The SOCIAL STYLE Assessment measures Versatility and its sub-components so learners can understand their strengths and weaknesses when working with others. And SOCIAL STYLE training teaches specific techniques to improve Versatility with people of each Style.
