Behavioural Styles

Understanding And Managing Behaviour - It's the differences that make the difference!

Whether in our personal or professional lives, success and happiness is often determined by how well we relate to others across a range of significant behavioural differences. However, this can be difficult if we don’t first have a good understanding of what those behavioural differences are.

The differences between people’s behavioural styles is often cited as the main cause of personal and workplace friction, so it is vital that we gain a better understanding of each other before relationships reach a point of no return.

75% of people are different to you!

The differences between people’s behavioural styles is often cited as the main cause of personal and workplace friction.

If we do behave so differently to 75% of the population, then surely it is our responsibility to not only recognise those differences, but to also work on strategies to understand and cater for those differences.

There are not good and bad people in terms of behaviour – just different!

In today’s workplaces, all staff must be able to work well with each other, so as to build both a productive workplace culture and to establish stronger relationships.

To do this, we must first understand that there is no wrong or right, or better or worse place to be – we are just different!

When we take the time to embrace those differences we also take the first step to a better understanding of ourselves and of others.
