The concept of Social Styles (aka Personal Styles) has been around for well over 20 years. It may have lost some of its buzz because it no longer qualifies as the latest flavor, but it is a concept that remains popular and is used widely because it offers a practical model of personality and communication. There are a number of books that address the Social Styles model, but this is the only one that reflects where is all started, from the authors who first popularized the concept. This is the essential Social Styles/Personal Styles volume.

Great Book for anyone who is in a position that deals with other people!!! (also for anyone who wants to improve on their communication skills with day to day people)

One of the best resources to really understand the "Social Styles" personality typology. Written by the pioneer researcher, the book is written with the rigour of a personality theorist, but is very accessible and applicable.
