Manager & People Decisions

Improve how managers interpret behavior and make decisions about people when talent shows up differently.

Equipping leaders at top organizations

People don’t all show up in the same way at work:

Some people are highly direct. Others are quieter or more measured.

Some think out loud. Others need time before contributing.

Some build rapport quickly. Others don’t — even when highly capable.

The challenge

Where things go wrong:

Confidence is mistaken for capability

Directness is interpreted as poor attitude

Quieter contributors are overlooked

Processing differences are misread as disengagement

Managers understand this

More than half - 53% - of managers are concerned about getting it wrong when it comes to working with people with different thinking and work styles.
