Interaction Styles: An Introduction

Interaction Styles, developed by Linda Berens, tell us how you do what you do.

The four Interaction Styles are:

  • In Charge: Pushing for completion, making quick decisions. More likely to initiate than respond. (Extraverted)
  • Get Things Going: Pushing for involvement, preferring enthusiastic decisions. More likely to initiate than respond. (Extraverted)
  • Chart the Course: Pushing for a plan of action, keeping the group on track. More likely to respond than initiate. (Introverted)
  • Behind the Scenes: Pushing for the best result, preferring consultative decisions. More likely to respond than initiate. (Introverted)
