ASK participants to turn to page 21 of the Concepts Guide.<br />

SAY, “Backup Behavior typically occurs when individuals become frustrated in their<br />

efforts to act in ways consistent with their Style Orientation. <strong>The</strong> Backup Behavior for<br />

each Style is an exaggerated form of Style-related behavior used by a person to reduce<br />

tension within the relationships that caused the tension."<br />

■ To increase your interpersonal effectiveness, learn to recognize when you are being<br />

detrimentally affected by tension and develop ways to constructively deal with it.<br />

GUIDE<br />

■ Recognizing the Backup Behavior for each Style can also help you to deal<br />

constructively and effectively when working with others who are experiencing excess<br />

tension and behaving in style-bound ways.<br />

■ Review the Backup Behavior for each Style (using the slide)<br />

■ Share tips for dealing with Backup Behavior:<br />

■ Driving � Autocratic. Show this Style how you can help them achieve the<br />

results or goals they are committed to achieving.<br />

■ Expressive � Attacks. Listen emphatically, without evaluating or defending.<br />

Accept the emotion expressed without getting involved or committed by it.<br />

■ Amiable � Acquiesces. Encourage this Style to feel safe in becoming involved<br />

again and initiating points of view. Invite him/her to offer constructive criticism.<br />

■ Analytical � Avoids. Reinforce the value of their facts and data. Avoid focusing<br />

on personalities or emotional issues. Ask to compare their facts with yours in a<br />

non-confrontational manner.<br />
