How to Work Well with All Behavioral Styles
Each person in a work environment has differing behavioral styles. Some people may be dominant and fast-paced, others may be detail-oriented and slower-paced, and some may be more sensitive, social or people-focused. Team members tend to judge others in the workplace who are different from themselves rather than recognizing and valuing the differences each behavioral style brings to the team. Using Everything DiSC® Workplace as a model, participants will learn about their own style, learn how to recognize the styles of other people and learn how to better manage conflict. They will gain insight on how others interpret their behavior and learn how to adapt to other communication styles. This produces a more productive, enjoyable and efficient workplace where conflicts are easily resolved and healthy communication occurs with your entire team.
