In today’s business environment, it is essential for all business managers to be able to speak the same language and collaborate across functional lines. Security management is a niche field that is tasked with safeguarding an organization from risk. In most cases many organizational leaders do not have direct experience in security or risk, and hire those with experience to provide the skills necessary to provide insight to affect business outcomes mitigating risk throughout the organization. Security leaders are more often acting as an internal consultant to deliver service. In order for their efforts to be accepted, it is important to establish trust, and show the value of the security program throughout an organization. To establish relationships, an internal consultant must develop trust with individual business leaders. A great tool in understanding how to develop relationships is to be aware of social styles.
