Analytical Style people tend to be cautious when making decisions. They don't like to rush and may also be reluctant to make decisions that involve a lot of risk, unless they feel secure in the outcomes. You can help them make decisions by supporting them in their efforts to obtain all relevant information that they need to feel comfortable with the decision. Let them know the specific things you will do to support their decision and to back them up once the decision has been made. In general, support their rational process, and when it comes to important or weighty decisions, do not try to appeal to their emotions.

Seek understanding by asking. If unsure of how others are feeling or responding to you, and if it is appropriate, simply ask how they are feeling. This can be especially helpful for people who are hesitant to express themselves. For example, if making a change in policy, ask “What concerns do you have about the change in policies?”

Amiable Style people are sometimes hesitant to express themselves, so it is often helpful to ask them questions to get needed information or input. They prefer to be approached in a friendly way and asked open-ended questions (e.g., "How can we manage this project so we meet the deadline?"). This type of question allows them to give their answer as well as provide context around their response. Closed-ended questions ("What is your plan to meet the deadline?") can be uncomfortable for them because these types of questions do not allow them to provide additional information that they may feel is important. These individuals are also comfortable with hypothetical questions (e.g., "If we were to develop a new website, what do you feel would be the most appealing features for our customers?").

Practice empathetic listening. Develop the skill of empathetic listening to be sure you are correct about the messages you are detecting. Repeat back both the words and the feelings to ensure you understand others perspectives and to help them realize that you have heard them. For example, "Are you feeling really angry about what she said?" Use this type of listening in any situation where emotion is involved. If you practice this, it will become second nature and you will find that your understanding of others increases significantly to ensure you understand others.

“When we talk about EDI, what we’re really doing is trying to help build a community of trust within an organization.” —Jana Seijts, Lecturer of Management Communication and founder of the Women’s Leadership Mentoring Program, Richard Ivey School of Business

Seijts believes organizations need to work more on addressing workplace behaviors with tools like SOCIAL STYLE. She said what the SOCIAL STYLE Model lends to EDI training is a mindset shift where people learn to appreciate diversity through thought and behavior.

Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where we need to explain multiple aspects of an issue to someone. This might be a negotiation, a sales scenario, or an interpersonal conflict. Each Style of person responds to different approaches. Driving Style people like to be provided with alternatives. So helping them see different sides of an issue can be as straightforward as laying these out for them. Do this in a factual, non-judgmental way. Before going into details of the different sides of an issue provide them with an overview and give them the implications of each course of action.
