Prior to viewing this video I suggest you look at the video that address the question, how do I make a good first impression? In it I share with you the basic of preferences like going to shaping personality and how people interact. The type I will be talking about here is what will call a PAL.
He or she is focused more on the relationship and people as well as taking life more on the defensive. They tend to be social, practical, team players who are cautious warm and often involve others in making a decision.
So what does this person want? One of the things that is important to them is to be part of something to belong. This person wants to connect with people he or she works with. They wonder not only what you are working on but also how you are doing. They appear to be more empathetic than others and they make a great listener. As a boss they are easy to work for and they are good teacher.
They can be frustrating and that they may take them time to reach a decision and their decisions often involves speaking to others. They are also big in equity so that means everyone will be treated equally. That is great if everyone is equal but it is not if you are a high performer and you are carrying everyone around you.
Pouzer conflicting verse, so sometimes the feed back they give to you and others is very, very indirect. As if it were suggestion rather than an order, depending on who you are, you might find them a little intrusive but they have the need to connect so tell them something of your life and if necessary set up some boundaries. Just stay privately with them that there are certain subjects you do not talk about at work and then add I hope that is okay.
When you are all working with them remember that since the relationship is important that is if you do disagree, disagree reasonably and never make it a personal issue. Those person will remember that and hold it against you. Another plus with working with this person is that you will get feed back, more good than bad.
The bad news is the feed back may be general and the negative feed back maybe so soft you might not take a necessary steps to correct it because you did not think it was that critical. You if you are working for a PAL know that there will always be a social component in your exchanges, in your meetings and even in your e-mails. Get used to it.
Let them into your life a bit and be interested in theirs. They prefer to work with friends so treat them as such except that the phase may be slower than you might like but the work will get done. One point of caution, this person is security conscious and their job and the company they work in is important to them. So even if you are friends know there is a limit as to what they will do on your behalf if they have to choose between you and job security but you can handle this person, best of luck.
