Work Style Profiles
Insights Into Workplace Behaviour
People can be messy, inconsistent, unpredictable, even erratic. But, we need to work together.
Our behaviour is not as random as it first appears. Most of us are surprisingly consistent over time, even predictable. We have a “work style”, a pattern of action and choices, habits we fall back on and preferences we express regularly.
When individuals become more aware of their own work style, and the preferences of others, they can use their style more effectively, or change it to get what they and others need.
