Other people see Expressive Style individuals as personable, open, and active. Of all the Styles, these individuals are the most likely to share their opinions and feelings without hesitation. Because they are spontaneous and energetic, they can help co-workers to not only have fun, but also to solve problems and achieve greater innovation. These individuals have a strong need for personal approval, and this can cause problems for other people. They can be seen as too talkative and opinionated, and others can feel overwhelmed by them. They can be perceived as aggressive and overly dramatic, leaving others to feel offended, personally attacked, or simply unable to join in conversations.

Optimism measures the ability to maintain a positive perspective and stay persistent toward achieving goals, even in difficult circumstances. A proven strategy for enhancing mood is to write down three things that went well every day, and the reasons why. Set a reminder on your calendar to do this every day. At first it may seem difficult and strange, but after a week or so, most people start to look forward to the activity and even become addicted to it. After a while you will notice that you begin to not only notice positive things throughout your day, but you create them.⁣

Other people see Analytical Style people as logical, thoughtful, and reserved. Because they want to be correct in how they approach things, they can help others to stay organized and not miss important information that may impact projects. Others often see them as offering valuable input, and as being cooperative in most situations. These individuals have a need to do things right, from their own perspectives, and this can sometimes cause problems for others. They can be seen as withdrawn and uncommunicative, which can cause frustration for others who are relying on their input. In some circumstances they can also be viewed as stubborn and inflexible, needlessly clinging to a position when others are ready to move forward.

Put on your game face and act confident. Surprising as it may sound, there can be a difference between feeling confident and acting confident. As research on the brain shows, your behavior has a powerful influence on your beliefs and attitudes. A potent way to increase confidence is to simply 'act as if' you are confident. Many people find it helpful to act like a particular role model, even to behave like actors or characters. The point is not to be dishonest about who you are, rather it is to give yourself practice behaving with skill in certain areas where you want to develop better confidence. Over time, with enough practice, you will begin to naturally feel more confident.⁣

When we consider the types of behaviors that people should do less of at work, most of those behaviors center around a person's Style-related Backup Behavior.⁣
⁣
Driving Style people become autocratic and attempt to take control of events. Their co-workers would ask that they be more aware of other people and the value they can add to initiatives, and to involve them more in activities. These individuals should manage their inclination to dominate discussions and meetings, and they should be willing to cede control of some tasks and activities to other people. Instead of consistently moving rapidly, their co-workers would like to see them slow down on occasion and lower the pace of activity. It can be difficult to control our natural Style behaviors, but if we consciously manage these behaviors we can see benefits in our working relationships and also in our personal effectiveness.

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?”⁣
