Action Style

Learn how your operating style compares to these proven principles

"What's your operating style?". How would you respond, if somebody was to put you on the spot with that question?

When it comes to understanding your personal approach to going after your goals, collaborating, keeping it together and making that big push when it's needed - we've got you covered.

We also check in on how people rate their priority setting, and how effectively people think they operate overall.

What's being assessed?

Ten of the twelve factors explored in this assessment are based on what have become commonly known as the ‘principles of war’ - but don't worry, these principles actually have nothing to do with war. In fact, the principles are so fundamental and so proven, that military-grade thinkers have been openly using them for thousands of years. But hey, so can you!

Our Action Style assessment reveals people's operating style by focusing on behaviours that are effective when they're used selectively to suit specific situations.

The assessment result is affected strongly by the environment in which a person or team performs. So, when it comes to getting the most complete picture about how we operate, Promana's Action Style assessment is the only ammunition you'll need.
