Discovering Your Work Style:
Strategies for Maximizing Your Relationships and Your Time
Course #258
Advertising Description:
Working with people has always been a front-line supervisor’s key responsibility. Recent trends indicate this job has grown harder, as supervisors are encouraged to increase productivity through influence rather than authority. How can this course help? By gaining a greater understanding of yourself and those you work with through the PeopleStyles Behavioral Inventory. Within the framework of your style, learn practical strategies for relating effectively with others, and for handling your time management challenges.
Key Topics:
- Assessment and considerations. Descriptions of the four types of style-based behavioral patterns: Analytical, Driver, Amiable, and Expressive.
- Styles under stress: backup behaviors, trigger points, guidelines for difficult situations.
- Time management strategies: general tips and tailored approaches for each style.
- Flexing to each style in order to relate effectively with others.
Objectives:
- To provide a framework for enhancing understanding of one's own working style and how it influences both an individual's success and stress.
- To apply time management strategies to common challenges faced to each type.
- To create optimum working relationships; supervisors will also learn how to get in sync with the styles of the people they work with by flexing to each style.
Participants (audience course is aimed at):
Front-line supervisors with line or functional supervision, and with no budgetary or strategic planning responsibilities.
