Thomas Erikson Boeken

Welke gedragsstijl is de jouwe ? Drijft je collega je tot waanzin met zijn overdreven liefde voor details? Botst het gematigde karakter van je geliefde met je eigen enthousiasme? Sommige mensen beweren dat zij omringd worden door idioten. Zij begrijpen hun collega's of familie niet, hoe erg ze hun best ook doen. Als je echter meer inzicht hebt in het gedrag van anderen, en dat van jezelf, kun je beter met de ander communiceren. Een veelgebruikte methode daarvoor is het aanduiden van gedragsstijlen met kleuren. Ben je bijvoorbeeld rood, dan wil je snel tot de kern van de zaak komen. Heb je voornamelijk gele kanten, dan ben je snel enthousiast, groen staat voor stabiliteit en blauwe eigenschappen hebben te maken met informatie en details. Thomas Erikson leert je om op praktische en eenvoudige wijze dit kleurenschema toe te passen. Omringd door idioten helpt je collega's, vrienden en familie beter te begrijpen.
