Assess Your
Working Style
Assess Your
Working Style
Your customer is a cautious type who craves facts and figures, your boss thrives on challenge and competition, and all you want is for everyone to just get along.
Service superstars understand that success means learning how to work with customers, coworkers, bosses, and vendorsâmany of whom have a different working style than their own.
Understanding the core working styles (and each oneâs attitude, approach, and expression) increases your ability to solve customer problems and decreases the amount of time it takes to get there. The place to start is by identifying your own individual working style.
Exercise:
How do you see yourself?
How do you see yourself?
Consider each of the following attributes separately and assign a score to each one listed based on the following scale.
0 = Does not describe me at work.
1 = Describes me occasionally at work.
2 = Describes me a fair amount of the time at work.
3 = Describes me most of the time at work.
Keep in mind there are no right answers to these questions, so base your response on how you are today, not how you think you should be or would like to be in the future.
______Achieving (A)
______Cooperative (C)
______Decisive (A)
______Deliberate (A)
______Diplomatic (C)
______Efficient (A)
______Enthusiastic (B)
______Factual (D)
______Friendly (C)
______Gregarious (B)
______Humorous (B)
______Independent (A)
______Intense (A)
______Lively (B)
______Logical (D)
______Organized (D)
______Outgoing (B)
______Patient (C)
______Persuasive (B)
______Relaxed (C)
______Reserved (D)
______Serious (D)
______Supportive (C)
______Systematic (D)
Now count up the total score for each of the letters A, B, C and D and write in your scores below:
My total A score is .______A represents the Power Player.
My total B score is .______B represents the Passionate Persuader.
My total C score is .______C represents the People Pleaser.
My total D score is .______D represent the Problem Solver.
Research in the field of individual styles goes as far back as a Greek medical philosopher in the Roman Empire named Claudius Galen who developed a theory of personality based on the four humors. Since then, many famous researchers, consultants, and psychiatrists (chief among them Carl Jung) have studied and further developed the concept. One thing many agree on is that these styles measure two important aspects of a personâs behavior:
1. Assertiveness: This is expressed as confidence in the way you state your opinion, idea, position or claim, and the willingness to be strong and forceful as needed.
2. Emotional Expression: This is expressed as easily and strongly showing a great deal of feeling and emotion.
Each of the four core working styles has a different level of assertiveness and emotional expression.
The Four Core Working Styles
1. The Power Player (your A score): Power Players have a high degree of assertiveness but a lower degree of emotional expression
2. The Passionate Persuader (your B score): Passionate Persuaders have a high degree of both assertiveness and emotional expression
3. The People Pleaser (your C score): People Pleasers have a high degree of emotional expression but a lower degree of assertiveness
4. The Problem Solver (your D score): Problem Solvers have a low degree of both emotional expression and assertiveness.
Your primary working style describes the most common approach you take in dealing with people and situations at work. Although everyone tends to have a smattering of each style within them, usually one or two working styles act as your default position. The style in which you scored the most points is likely to be your primary working style.
If you have two scores that are the same or very close together, you can figure out your more dominant one by reading the specific descriptions for each style later in this book. If youâre still stumped then ask a coworker to fill out the questionnaireâthey can usually peg you on the spot.
Lastly, donât fall into the trap of thinking that one style is better than another. Everyone expresses him- or herself differently, and each style adds to the diversity of the workplace.

Avoid Negative Filters
Avoid Negative Filters
Stupid, jerk, lazy, liar, pushy, crazy, and crabbyânegative names you call customers in the privacy of your own mind, or occasionally out loud to a coworker.
Negative filters get their start in life when you pin a not-so-nice label on a difficult customer. For example, you might decide that a customer, who keeps asking what seem to be obvious questions, is âstupid.â
Having a negative filter is like wearing rose-colored glasses. The difference is that negative filters donât paint a rosy picture, just the opposite; they foster a critical and unhelpful attitude that begins a downward spiral from which it can be hard to recover.
Once you have a negative filter in place, it distorts your perception. Your customer might be the next Einstein, but if youâve decided theyâre âstupid,â everything they do and say becomes evidence of how dumb they are.
Consider this conversation between a customer and an associate (with a âstupidâ negative filter) at a large, office supply warehouse:
Customer:âExcuse me, Iâm looking for a small drafting board.â
Associate:âTheyâre on aisle four.â A few moments later...
Customer:âI looked on aisle four and I canât see them.â
Associate:(huffing) âWell thatâs where they are. Theyâre bigâI donât see how you could miss them.â
Customer:âCould you show me?â
Associate:âWell, they are definitely there...okay (begrud...
