Theory
What’s My Coaching Style and the other titles in the HRDQ Style Series are based on the well-known research and personality theories of psychologists Carl Jung, William Moulton Marston, and others. Most research has identified two basic dimensions of style, which we refer to as assertiveness and expressiveness. Assertiveness is the effort a person makes to influence or control the thoughts or actions of others. Expressiveness is the effort that a person makes to control his or her emotions and feelings when relating to others.
What to Order - Order one Facilitator Guide per trainer, one Participant Guide per participant, and one Feedback Form for each of the participants’ coachees (to be used separately from the training session).
How It Works
Participants respond to 18 pairs of adjectives, using a pressure-sensitive form. After scoring is complete, easy-to-read charts allow respondents to quickly scan the strengths and trouble spots that characterise their particular coaching styles.
