Environmental Role Adjustment
Our natural and preferred style is not appropriate for all situations.
We prefer to do things that come naturally to us.
Styles must be “flexed” to be effective in different situations.
Flexing takes energy.
Extreme flexing can cause stress and lead to burnout if not managed.
Being aware of the ways we need to flex is crucial.
