What's your working style?

Those that identify with this style are organized, strategic and collaborative. They are diplomatic and are typically excellent communicators.

They are often found in relationship-oriented roles like human resources and in leadership roles. Account executives, HR directors, and project managers are often known to have a cooperative business style.

Those that have this working style are versatile and adaptable, able to take on many different roles. They prefer to work with other people while maintaining sole responsibility for a task.

They’ll connect the independent and cooperative types, helping to build a team that works.

There are many factors that motivate employees and affect everything from how they work with others to their ability to stick to deadlines.

If you’re asking someone to do something that goes against their working style, they most likely won’t excel at it. Successful promotions begin with the manager recognizing and rewarding the different types of work styles appropriately.
