VERSATILITY

Versatility is the best predictor of success and the key to boosting interpersonal effectiveness in the real world, whether at work, at home or in any social setting. Far from being social chameleons, Versatile employees know how to leverage the strengths of their own Style, while recognizing and responding in appropriate ways to others’ unique Styles. So how do you know if the things you are “doing for others” are meeting their needs while also helping you achieve yours? When people interact with one another, they consciously and subconsciously observe and evaluate each other’s behaviors. TRACOM’s research has shown that the behaviors others often evaluate can be categorized into four broad areas: Image, Presentation Competence and Feedback. The impact of your behavior on others in these four areas is called Versatility.
