A Look in the Mirror… • What are your thinking styles, communication styles and personality structure? • What are the styles of those with whom you work? • How does your style change when working with dean colleagues, the Provost or Chancellor/President, and with faculty? American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education
Style and Generation • Do you know the thinking and working styles of your chairs, associate/assistant deans and faculty colleagues? • Do you recognize the “generational channel” in which each operates? • Have you considered the best (gentlest and most productive) modes in which to address each and to work successfully with each? • How do you let them know about your style and generation and how to achieve a mesh without seeming to be self-focused but rather focused on the good of all?

Seven Types of Difficult People • Bully: You will change, I will not – I attack when I feel threatened, and I will sneak up on you • Know it all: I know more than you do, I think I am better than you are, I will tell you anything you want to know • Complainer: Never satisfied, always finds something wrong and is prone to whining • Always agreeable: I make promises but may not deliver, I may agree only to be liked and accepted and I use humor to ease a conversation http: //literacy. kent. edu/salt_fork_people/Dealing.

Seven Types of Difficult People • Always negative: This won’t work, I want to do it the way we always did it and /or I don’t want to deal with it • Quiet one: I have nothing to say. I respond with yes, no or a grunt and I keep my thoughts to myself • Staller: I’ll do it later.
