Interpersonal communications – We’re Judged on Our Behaviors

Early in life, we develop behavioral preferences and patterns which we find most comfortable. These patterns are partly the result of genetics and partly learned in our early years. Some people speak quickly and are interested in taking action, for example, while others speak more slowly and hesitate to act without deliberation. Some focus on personal relationships and are quick to show personal care, while others focus on business results and rarely reveal their feelings.Our behaviors are readily observable to others and directly affect our social interactions in all areas of life. Sometimes our behaviors are seen as positive and sometimes negative, particularly when our behavioral preferences clash with others’. Over 60 years of research has identified four behavioral styles. TRACOM’s SOCIAL STYLE Model defines these behavioral patterns and teaches specific techniques for creating productive relationships with people of any style.
