How to Work with Achievers, Activators, Adapters, Analyzers, and Arrangers?

Working with Achievers

  1. When working with them, I need to be diligent; they dislike lazy individuals in the workplace.
  2. Only invite them to meetings when I truly need their participation so they can be fully engaged. Otherwise, let them focus on their tasks.
  3. They often sleep little and wake up early; they actually enjoy the attention when you ask them, "How late did you stay up to finish the task?" and "What time did you come to work this morning?"

Working with Activators

  1. Let them know I believe in their reliability and that I may need their help at critical moments; this will greatly motivate them.
  2. Learn from their complaints, present them with innovative new projects, and get started immediately. Don't impose restrictions, and they will act quickly.
  3. Ask them what new goals our team needs to achieve or what improvements are necessary, then help them move towards those goals.

Working with Adapters

  1. Their flexibility makes them valuable members of any team.
  2. Their willingness to "go with the flow" makes collaboration easy.
  3. They will excel in short-term and immediately actionable tasks, but prolonged tasks may bore them.

Working with Analyzers

  1. Spend some time thinking with them when they are making important decisions. They like to know all the key factors involved.
  2. Defend my viewpoint with data. They trust numbers.
  3. They prioritize accuracy over speed. Therefore, ensure they have enough time to do things correctly before deadlines approach.

Working with Arrangers

  1. They thrive on complex tasks and excel when there are many things to do simultaneously.
  2. They are good at positioning team members in project teams because they understand the strengths and characteristics of different members.
  3. They are resourceful and confident; when they find something isn't working, they will come up with alternative solutions.
