“Social Styles – an Influencing Tool” 

We all want to influence or persuade other people. We want to recruit their support, to gain investment or access to resources, to form a partnership, or to get them to try something new.

This note describes a simple, well-established and effective method to understand how both you, and the people you need to work with, think and make decisions – the Social Styles Matrix. It helps you to build a positive and mutually supportive relationship with others so that you can both achieve.
