The Four SOCIAL STYLES -- Driving Style

People with a Driving Style are seen by others as active, forceful and determined.  People with a Driving Style are direct. They initiate social interaction and they focus their efforts and the efforts of others on the goals and objectives they wish to get accomplished. 

       A.    Actions Toward Others              
              
               The Driving Style person is typically more oriented toward results and tasks than toward relationships and
               people.  They are typically described as cool, less personable, guarded and at times aloof.  They typically do
               not openly show their feelings or reveal the depth of their emotions.

       B.    Best Use of Time

               Driving Style people have little tolerance for actions they deem a waste of time.  They prefer getting to the point
               and staying on target.  They prefer others to show respect for time by sticking to a schedule. 

       C.    Customary Approach to Decisions-making
 
               When making a decision, a Driving Style person prefers to be provided with facts, useful information and
               viable options.  Driving Style people enjoy having power and like making their own decisions.  They do not like
               being told what to do.
