Social style system helps professionals working closely with clients.
It not only guide you through the process of understanding your clients better, but will get your communication skills to a whole new level.
The system is predicated on the assumption that
people would be very good at forming accurate first impressions if they could remove the impact of preconceptions.
In other words, when we meet someone for the first time we often tend to misjudge them because we ‘filter’ our first impressions through our own prejudices and preconceptions. The Social Styles system provides what some claim is an effective way of bypassing these. The system requires that, immediately after meeting someone for the first time, you ‘score’ them on two scales:
- A horizontal scale runs from “Ask” on the left to “Tell” on the right.
- A vertical scale runs from “Control” at the top to “Emote” at the bottom.
You can usually assess both these characteristics quite quickly after meeting someone new.
