"Great, Splendid, Excellent"

Hi Sunil, what are you doing? Come for a cup of tea. I need some company’ Mohan phoned a colleague working in the same office, but in a different section. Sunil was too busy to leave his work so he politely refused. Mohan turned to his junior colleague and asked him how his ailing wife was.  Then he told him not to worry about completing the report as no great harm will be done if the completion took 2-3 more days. While discussing performance and efficiency of the employees, Mohan was more concerned about ‘relationship, friendly behaviour and flexibility rather than their efficiency and out-put.  At times he took the staff working in his section for a movie or to see some exhibition, at times he ordered for some snacks like pizza for everyone and sometimes he took them to a restaurant for dinner.

Mohan’s working style can be labeled as expressive.  These individuals are more spirited and less assertive.  They are open, direct and fast, but display flexibility and resilience towards completion of work by displaying their playful nature. They like to give incentives and testimonials and readily recognize acknowledge and applaud good performance.  In return, they are also keen on being noticed. What type of office do they prefer? These persons dislike being alone, so they tend to have office which is open, airy and friendly.  Seating arrangement indicates warmth and openness and hence somewhat informal.  The desk is cluttered with different items and is usually disorganized. The walls display awards, personal slogans or motivational slogans like ‘aaram haraam hai !’ Stimulating posters are also common. Being alone or performing boring tasks irritate them.  They are often seen laughing, cracking jokes, humming musical tune or complimenting colleagues – a behaviour which shows their concern about relationship, hence there is fear of delays and deficiencies in their professional performance.
