Incorporating Social Style into Administrative Team-Building in the Community College.

Darling, John R.; McNutt, Anne S.

Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v20 n5 p455-73 Sep-Oct 1996

Describes four social styles (amiable, analytical, driver, and expressive) and strengths and weaknesses associated with each. Suggests that administrative team building can be enhanced by considering individual styles. Discusses the importance of style flex, or interacting within others' comfort zones without compromising one's own style. A social style matrix and questionnaire are appended. (10 citations) (AJL)
