1147 Why I Like You, Why I Don't
Faculty: Jeff Marsee
Course Description:
Determining whether we like a new acquaintance actually occurs within the first half-second of contact. People react to a new acquaintance based on which of four behavior styles that person immolates. People with similar behavior styles tend to like each other. Opposites? Not so much. These initial subconscious reactions to others impact personal and professional relationships. To be effective team builders, managers must be able to neutralize first impression reactions. This is especially important when attempting to integrate staff that don’t think or act the same way.
Why I Like You, Why I Don’t is a popular class that includes a self-administered behavior assessment questionnaire (“As I See Myself”) that gives each participant the opportunity to understand their preferred way of doing things. The objective is not to change personal behaviors. However, by understanding how our preferred way of doing things may be different (but not better) than others, participants will be able to:
- recognize style differences;
- neutralize first impression biases; and
- create stronger personal and professional relationships.
