Bankers,
Healthcare Professionals, College Instructors,
and Others Improve Communication with 4-Word Language
KING OF PRUSSIA, PA
(November 3, 2005) –– Organizations in a wide range of industries
are using simple terms derived from the work of Jung and Marston to
communicate better. The HRDQ Style Series,™ based on the
personality theories of the famed researchers, provides simple
self-assessments and quick insight to start a group discussion about
the four basic personal styles and what people can do to improve
interaction.
"What’s My Leadership Style? enhances people's awareness of
their leadership style and how they can adjust their style to the
situations and people they work with in order to meet and exceed
business objectives," said David Levine, Vice President and Director
of Learning & Development for Citizens Bank of Massachusetts.
“Participants in my Style Series training sessions walk away with
two important things: a common language and a process of leadership
and coaching to drive their business success,” he added.
California-based training consultant Kerrie Halmi uses the What’s
My Communication Style? assessment with clients in healthcare,
banking, and insurance.
“The more I coach and train with the assessment, the more I see how
valid it is. What gives it an advantage over other tools, such as
the MBTI, is that it’s quick to administer and easy to grasp.”
The theoretical model for the Style Series, a collection of seven
assessments and a group card game, illustrates the characteristics
of four personality styles: Direct, Spirited, Systematic, and
Considerate.
“The model is simple and lets you get into a lot of good
conversation," said Les Helms a professor at Columbus State
Community College and president of L&L Training Solutions Inc. Helms
uses What’s My Communication Style? as both a professor and a
consultant.
“The strength of the model is that it’s based on behavior: one can
gauge someone’s style by the way they act. So many instruments out
there are not behaviorally based.”
Glen Whipple also notes the Style Series’ model as a strength. The
Illinois-based consultant uses the What’s My Style?
assessment for training in project management, facilitation skills,
and conflict management. His clients include organizations in the
financial, government, and manufacturing sectors.
“It takes a complex psychological model and makes it actionable
through a simple planning
process."
