"Behavior" in Four Secrets "When you objectively observe others, there is always behavior to be noticed. You can be talking face-to-face, listening on the phone, or watching across a crowded room." Chapter 2 "There is a well-documented [and measurable] phenom-enon of people using behaviors in the work-place that are different from their natural preferences. Sometimes our jobs force us to fake it!" Chapter 3 "Our best bet for comm-unicating with or influencing others is to try to match our approach to their behavioral needs." Chapter 2 "Our new understanding of behavior allows us to 'see' things at work that might have been invisible before." Chapter 3

The Secret of Behavior
Overview

Do you struggle to work with someone who is bossy, flaky, territorial, or fussy?

Do you feel like your "real self" is different from the person you are at work?
 
Do you have a hard time convincing certain people to take you seriously?

If so, the perspective of Behavior could be very helpful to you.

			The perspective of Behavior converts what we can see a person doing into information about how to influence that person.

What's more, with this perspective we can also grow to understand our own "hot buttons," and figure out less stressful ways to do our own jobs. 

In other words, the perspective of Behavior can help us to like our work.

Behavior is the most observable of the human traits.  Anyone who is awake exhibits behavior, and buried in that behavior is important information about how to influence and interact with that person.

To build your own perspective of Behavior, read Chapters 2 and 3 of Four Secrets to Liking Your Work.
