Social Styles Impact

Unlock the Power of People: Transform Your Managers with a Social Styles Workshop

About Social Styles

 

Today’s most effective managers don’t just manage tasks, they manage relationships. The Social Styles assessment helps leaders understand how their communication, decision-making, and collaboration preferences impact others. Through this proven behavioral model, managers learn to adapt their approach to motivate, influence, and connect with every member of their team.

SOCIAL STYLE training helps your people understand the behavioral patterns of themself and their teammates. Then they learn Versatility strategies that allow them to effectively modify their behavior when working within their teams. That might mean giving some people more times to evaluate the situation or helping others understand the implications of a decision on their own role. Teams that understand SOCIAL STYLE simply work at a higher level. And team leaders that apply SOCIAL STYLE & Versatility can achieve more.
