SESSION 1
This survey will tell you how others view your work style—where it helps or gets in the way of productive work relationships.
Complete the survey about yourself, then, ask 6-8 of your colleagues who work most closely with you to take the survey about you. Obtaining more than 8 responses will not increase the accuracy of your report. The survey takes about 10 minutes to complete. Soon, you will receive an email from admin@maxproddata1.tracom.com with the link and User ID to access the survey website. The subject line of the email is: “XXX”. We’ll let you know if your colleagues need a reminder to complete the survey. Please complete by XXX at noon EST.
Tell Your Survey Participants What to Expect
Your colleagues will be more likely to help if they know what’s coming. Email them now. Here’s an example of what to say. Feel free to copy, paste and edit!

The insights will help you be a more skillful coach to direct reports and colleagues because you can offer feedback and suggestions in the context of their working Style vs. only focus on what works for your Style.

SESSION 3
Follow a manager as he checks in with four direct reports, each a different SOCIAL STYLE. Try to read the Style of the manager and see how long it takes you to make an educated guess. Here’s a hint: Resist the temptation to jump to a Style and instead do what the pros do—“read on the dimensions" using the clues you learned for Assertiveness and Responsiveness.
