SOCIAL STYLE is the ultimate communications and culture creation tool.  It helps all of your people with a common language and reinforces that people with different behavioral preferences can all contribute in their own way.  SOCIAL STYLE teaches people to understand behavioral patterns and distinguish the message from the way the messenger presents it.

The inclusion of Versatility strategies ensures that people understand practical and powerful ways to work productively with anyone.  Versatility leads to better rapport with others and helps teams optimize performance.

Individuals with high Versatility receive significantly higher scores in communication.
