Interpersonal Styles:
Some Take-Aways
Everyone is unique, but we all
have common tendencies and
preferences
Each style has its own
advantages and limitations
depending on the situation
Understanding differences in
styles can help you:
understand your own behavior,
strengths and limitations;
respect, appreciate and value others
styles, thereby building relationships;
adapt behavior and interact more
effectively with those with different
styles
achieve more effective teamwork and
collaboration
