Communicating with the High D

Behavioural profiles, CoachingOctober 4, 2019Daryl Keeley
  • Be Clear, specific and to the point.
    Don’t ramble on, or waste their time.
  • Stick to business.
    Don’t try to build personal relationships, or chitchat.
  • Come prepared with all requirements, objectives and support material in a well-organised package.
    Don’t forget or lose things, be unprepared, disorganised or messy.
  • Present the facts logically; plan your presentation efficiently.
    Don’t leave loopholes or cloudy issues if you don’t want to be zapped!
  • Ask specific questions (Preferably “What?”)
    Don’t ask rhetorical questions, or useless ones.
  • Provide facts and figures about probability of success or effectiveness of options.
    Don’t speculate wildly or offer guarantees and assurances where there is a risk in meeting them.
  • If you disagree take issue with the facts.
    Don’t take issue with the High D personally.
  • Provide a win/win opportunity.
    Don’t force the High D into a losing situation.
  • Motivate and persuade by referring to results.
    Don’t try to convince by personal means.
  • Support and maintain.
    Don’t direct or order.
