“I wish I had had the knowledge, tools and your help earlier in my career. The Development Center Behavioral Style tool makes it simple to understand behavioral/communication styles and therefore provide an open forum for discussion and development of a solid boss/subordinate work relationship. The style assessment feedback session, role sharing, contract building and ongoing maintenance process is clearly a comprehensive approach to developing trust and openness in a work relationship.”
