Working Styles

Based on studies in observable social behaviors, Working Styles, developed by The Ryan Group, identifies four preferred behavioral styles that measure important aspects of a person’s behavior:  Expressive, Amiable, Driver, and Analytical

Your co-workers, customers, vendors, and others you interact with in your worklife fall into two general categories: ones who think and behave similarly to you, and ones who don’t.  With the first group, it often seems that you know what they are going to say (even before they say it), how they will respond, and what it will take to have them be satisfied.  The second group of individuals is harder to relate.  You are often surprised by what they say, puzzled by how they react, and uncertain about how to satisfy them.

If you want to be successful in your relationships, you will learn how to work with both groups, especially the ones who think and act differently than you do.  We call these differences Working Styles, and they reflect the various ways that people behave at work.  Understanding your own Working Style and the style of those around you dramatically improves your communications and effectiveness with your manager, co-workers, and the many others you come in contact.  Think of this as learning a new language.  When you are able to speak people’s language, it becomes easier to understand—and be understood—by them.  

Can you tell this person's most effective environment?  We can.

And, a whole lot more, like:
