Today let's consider the S and C simple behavior adaptations for winning relationships.
“Treat Others As They’d Like to Be Treated” and see if you
can’t make a difference in some relationships – personal OR professional.
This is People Reading 301: Adapting to Other Styles
Remember: simplicity and authenticity, not false behaviors
If you are a strong S try these simple adaptations:
To Interact with a “D”
Try to be more confident in your interactions. Don’t be intimidated by the strong-willed and challenging “D.” Be prepared and respond just as strongly with the answers they want.
To Interact with an “i”
You may not like the
“i’s” over-friendly, time-wasting attitude, but you should get along fairly
well.
To Interact with an “S”
Again, you should
get along fairly well. But remember that you, the “S,” will require lots of
assurances. So try to come on as
strongly and confidently as possible.
To Interact with a “C”
You should get along
well with a “C” as long as you can confidently answer all questions, and firmly
present necessary facts and figures.
Don’t be intimidated by the “C’s” challenges and skepticism.
If you are a strong C try these simple adaptations:
To Interact with a “D”
Be careful! Don’t overwhelm a “D” with all those facts
and figures. Just hit the high
points. And try to muster confidence to
present your ideas assertively.
To Interact with an “i”
Again, resist the
urge to lay all the facts and figures on the “i.” Just hit the highlights and try to be as
friendly as possible. Any innovative
ideas you have will be accepted by the “I.”
To Interact with an “S”
You should get along
fairly well with an “S”. Just don’t talk
too fast, let an “S” take time to digest the facts you present. Talk about family and friends a little, and
don’t be too pushy.
To Interact with a “C”
This should be your
easiest interaction. You both should see
eye-to-eye right from the start of the interaction.
You know I'd love to hear about any successes as you try these simple approaches!!
