In-Charge™
Interaction Style
Adapted
from Linda V. Berens, Understanding
Yourself and Others®: An Introduction
to Interaction Styles 2.0 (Telos Publications,
2008) *Used with permission.
The theme is getting
things accomplished through people. People
of this style are focused on results,
often taking action quickly. They often
have a driving energy with an intention
to lead a group to the goal. They make
decisions quickly to keep themselves and
others on task, on target, and on time.
They hate wasting time and having to back
track. Mentoring, executing actions, supervising,
and mobilizing resources are all ways
they get things accomplished. They notice
right away what is not working in a situation
and become painfully aware of what needs
to be fixed, healed, or corrected.
