In my most recent post, I listed 4 tips to help create better interactions with the “D” or Dominant personality type. Here are some more tips for getting along with the “D” types!
5. Use words that appeal to their personality! “D” types are attracted to words that emphasize “status and prestige”. Some examples would be: great, powerful, biggest, best, bold. These words peak their interest!
6. Don’t tell a “D” type to do something! When you tell this personality to do something, they didn’t hear what you said. What they heard is “Do you want to fight?” Instead, you can use a few strategies to create that win/win situation:
a. Give them choices, but let them make the decision. For example: Do you want to go to the post office first or would you rather pick up your dry cleaning first?
b. Issue a challenge! When you tell a “D” type they can’t do something, they most likely will do it!
7. Don’t expect perfection! “D” types believe in quantity, not quality. They do something “good enough” then move on to the next project.
8. Keep things moving! “D” personalities get bored very easily so move quickly! They also like to work on more than one thing at a time so keep them busy!
