How Effective Are Your Interactions with Others?

Do You Recognize the Impact of Your Behaviors on
Your Relationships?

So do you ever wonder why...

You get the reaction or response from others that you do?

You have friction with someone though you're both
working for the same goals?

Some people get bogged down in detail and
can't see the big picture!?  
Some people can't keep up with the pace of change?
Yet others seem to thrive on creating change?

Some people can only see the big picture and
have no patience for detail!?

We could go on with "wonder why's", but you know the point...people are different! We behave differently, we're driven by varied needs...and we aren't going to change others, are we?

Some people are assertive or active; they want to shape or change their environment to better suit themselves. Others are more responsive; they tend to accept things as they are and try to do the best job possible within their environment. Using these four factors: task vs. people, assertive vs. responsive, we can place people into one of four quadrants.

We may not be able to change others, but each of us can make simple, smart behavior adaptations ourselves to improve our interactions with others. That's what Interpersonal Effectiveness is all about - getting along with others in a particular situation to accomplish certain goals. The situation may be at work, at home, in school or in the community, but it's success depends on our ability to function successfully with others - even though they behave very differently!
