The Change Style model presents a continuum along which individual preferences for change can range from extreme Conserver to extreme Originator. In the middle lies the pure Pragmatist. As the graphic reveals, in the general population, 25% are Conservers, 50% are Pragmatists and 25% are Originators. However, most people exhibit combinations of these preferences to varying degrees, but overall, each person has a tendency toward one of the three.

Here’s a Brief Overview of Each Type.

Conservers

• May appear deliberate, disciplined and organized.

• May focus on details, established practices, and traditions vs results.

• Prefer gradual, incremental changes that keep the existing system intact.

Pragmatists

• May appear practical, agreeable and flexible.

• Tend to see both sides of an argument; serve as mediators.

• Prefer change that emphasizes workable outcomes and results.

Originators

• May appear unorganized, undisciplined, unconventional, spontaneous.

• Enjoy risk and uncertainty and like to experiment with untested solutions.

• Prefer quick and expansive change that may throw out the existing system and begin anew
