Paved With Good Intentions

Social Style

James Wilson Season 1 Episode 5

Social Style is a typology framework that describes the four archetypal personalities in the workplace: driver, analytical, expressive and amiable. Learning about Social Style helped me identify weaknesses in my own leadership style and provided my colleagues and I with a language and understanding to improve our interactions. It's also quite powerful in a performance management scenario by allowing you to drive separation between the individual and the behavior as a factor of their social style.

This episode is based on an article I wrote here:
