All of our solutions are powered by our proprietary behavior model, The 48 Behaviors™
Through his groundbreaking research, M.I.T. behavioral scientist Dr. Rubin produced a knowable universe of 48 specific, actionable behaviors that serve as a common language that bridge people of all personality type and cultures.
Dr. Rubin established Temenos, Inc. (now DBA BehavioralOS®) in 1985. Since then, Temenos’ flagship feedback training programs, leader coaching, and unique feedback tool, BehaviorTuner™, have helped improve the self-awareness, EQ, relationships, and performance of thousands of leaders around the world.
These behaviors are defined by the 8 communication styles, which determine how you come across to others.
Describe
When you use the Describe Style, you tend to emphasize observable or documentable facts, rationality, and logic to make a point. You also disclose feelings you have about yourself, including acknowledging errors.
Appreciate
When you are praising by focusing specifically on what you liked, providing constructive criticism by focusing on something you found lacking, graciously acknowledging feedback, or apologizing for behavior for which you were responsible, you are using the Appreciate Style.
Attend
When you communicate with someone using the Attend Style, you are giving them your undivided attention—mentally, physically and emotionally. You listen to others without any pre-judgment or bias, and are fully open-minded when it comes to hearing what they have to say.
Understand
When you communicate using the Understand Style, you strive to develop a deeper understanding of the other person’s ideas, feelings and concerns. You also make an effort to confirm that you have understood others correctly, and that what you’re hearing is what they are trying to say.
Prescribe
People who use the Prescribe Style set clear expectations, and leave little room for disappointment or misunderstandings. Furthermore, they use concise terms to focus on what you suggest, need, or expect from another person, or what they can expect from you.
Inspire
Leaders who use the Inspire Style inspire hope in others to achieve things beyond what they thought was possible. They often focus on what they and their team can achieve together, that neither can do alone. They also use analogies or metaphors to paint a picture of what the future will bring, and speak from the heart about common values and dreams.
Ask
People who use the Ask Style aim to gain clarity from others about what they think, feel, and want. When they try to help others express their thoughts, they use open-ended and non-leading questions. They also ask others for suggestions in a non-judgmental way, and focus on opportunities for learning rather than blame.
Empathize
When you communicate using the Empathize Style, you sense that someone is having strong feelings and acknowledge them in a non-judgmental and caring manner. You also change your language depending on the person and situation.
