Dawn Hodson, president of J. D. Hodson & Associates, a Ventura management consulting firm, says there are four main behavioral styles in business:
* Drivers. “They’re direct. They hate indecision. Deal with them by being equally direct and producing results.”
* Amiables. “They’re warm, sincere and loyal, but they hate sudden change. Cooperate with them; don’t compete.”
* Expressives. “They’re confident and very verbal. They want to be liked. Don’t argue.”
* Analyticals. “They’re task-oriented perfectionists. Deal with them by providing facts and logic. Don’t get emotional.”
