If you were their manager, your challenge would be to help each individual find an effective, timely solution to the problem. Most managers would do what comes naturally and use the managerial style that is their \"first dimension.\" This will work some of the time - but not all the time.\u003cbr\u003e One managerial style can't help people with four different working styles make the most of their different strengths and overcome their different limitations and roadblocks. In managing others, one style does not fit all. The 4-Dimensional Manager will help you learn to manage different people in the best ways. Through a simple yet powerful self-discovery tool called DiSC, you can become a 4-dimensional manager, able to manage anyone, anywhere, anytime.\u003cbr\u003e Discover your usual managerial style: Dominance, Influence, Supportiveness, or Conscientiousness\u003cbr\u003e Read the work styles of the people you manage\u003cbr\u003e Improve communication and reduce destructive conflict\u003cbr\u003e Find out how the style of your organization affects you and those you manage\u003cbr\u003e Whether or not you have the formal title of manager, if you provide work direction to others, this book will answer pressing questions you have every day, such as: \u003cbr\u003e When I delegate, how much information should I give, and when and how should I follow up?\u003cbr\u003e How can I increase this person's motivation?\u003cbr\u003e What kind of compliment or reward would this person most value?\u003cbr\u003e How can I give feedback so it will be understood, accepted, and effective?\u003cbr\u003e The 4-Dimensional Manager provides fascinating insights into individual work styles, practical suggestions, checklists and planners, and a research-based DiSC discovery tool.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berrett-Koehler Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/13\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781576751350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"Julie Straw","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43132917809333,"sku":"9781576751350","price":22.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_ea066d8d-cbf9-4811-8163-def3ab53c15b.jpg?v=1695135868","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-4-dimensional-manager-disc-strategies-for-managing-different-people-in-the-best-ways-9781576751350","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
