Something came up last week when we were meeting that totally stumped me.He’s a high D personality style, has a lot of I as well, so really can be sincere but on the job he’s totally task. As he and I were breaking down kind of what was going on on some of the actions that have happened and the behaviors that he had exhibited recently.The thing that came out is that he doesn’t care about the individual that he’s working with at the moment. That’s pretty much how he said it and it kind of floored me for a minute.He and I both have a good relationship. I let him know that I wasn’t judging his comment but I was totally bewildered, I didn’t know what to say. I don’t know where to go.Here’s what we hit:Adapting your personality styleGaining Self-worth in a roleThe need for controlThe role your root system plays in your leadershipFear of failingWhat questions to ask to guide a team member to self-discoveryDelivering constructive criticism to a high I personality styleQuestion 2:I’m having a harder time than I used to of taking a breath and making the time to be there with the individual rather than just trying to get through the agenda so I can get to the next thing.
