If you were their manager, your challenge would be to help each individual find an effective, timely solution to the problem. Most managers would do what comes naturally and use the managerial style that is their \"first dimension.\" This will work some of the time - but not all the time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One managerial style can't help people with four different working styles make the most of their different strengths and overcome their different limitations and roadblocks.
