Do you agree with your assessment of your most preferred Style? How about your results on your secondary style?
I completely agree with my most preferred and secondary style. I enjoy accepting challenges and authority, and providing quick solutions. I feel like I exhibit firmness in relationships and oriented toward productivity goals.
Referring to the material presented in the chapter, identify the strengths and weaknesses of your style.
I encounter all of these weaknesses: Get impatient with others, becomes dictatorial and bossy, does not admit being wrong, becomes extremely competitive. Some of the strengths are that a directive style appears to be quite busy, firmness and oriented toward productivity and goals
Identify the styles you enjoy working with best. Identify the styles you enjoy working with least.
The styles that I like working with most are Emotive and Reflective. I like emotive because they always seem busy and they help being emotion to the table which I can not really do. I like reflective because they are usually serious and precise. I also like that they keep things very organized, something I have trouble with
Refer to page 86. Can you identify those behaviors you tend to exhibit when you feel stressed?
Yes, I can relate to all of them. When I get stressed my biggest problem is that I get impatient with other people. I don’t think that I get dictatorial and bossy but I have been told I do. I am always a competitive person even when I am not stressed. If I know I am wrong I will admit it, but if I’m not sure I will argue my point.
