What's Your Personality? - Teri's Tip #36

Hippocrates defined four basic personality styles of human behavior and these have not changed over time, even though the names for them have.  While no human is 100% one style, we tend to have a primary style and a backup style.  The four styles using the DiSC profile and their main focus are:

Dominant - get the job done
Influence - have fun while getting the job done
Steadiness - peace and harmony among the work group
Conscientiousness - get the job done right

If you know what you are and then learn to read those you interact with, you can build much better relationships by adapting your style to theirs while working with them.  We all tend to like people who are more like ourselves.
