LIFO Interpersonal Styles Training

Description

The LIFO Interpersonal Styles Inventory has been taken by over 8 million people in 20,000 organizations. This inventory (Life Orientations) enables participants to build confidence and self-esteem by understanding and appreciating their styles, strengths, and uniqueness. It provides a common language for talking about similarities and differences with others. Participants learn to avoid overusing their most preferred strengths; how to get help from people with different styles; how to become more versatile in their approach to people and problems; how to utilize individual differences to strengthen team effectiveness; and how to recognize other people=s most preferred channels of communication and appropriately tailor the message. These topics and others will be explored in a highly interactive format that emphasizes group exercises, facilitative discussion of articles, dialogue and reflective thinking.

Key Topics
  • How can understanding your personal style enhance leadership performance?

  • What are the four guiding philosophies that shape how people observe, understand, and behave in organizations?

  • What are the strengths and vulnerabilities of people who possess the four guiding philosophies?

  • How can leaders strategically tailor their communication approach to better resonate with the diverse styles of others?

  • How can a manager find situations that capitalize on their unique strengths?

  • How can an individual practice new behaviors to diversify their approach to leadership?

  • How can a leader curtail behaviors that place limits on their success?
