The Persuader on a team

Persuaders are individuals who excel in teamwork. They are known for their ability to empathize, connect with people, and maintain a persistent attitude towards achieving their goals. They tend to thrive in environments that foster a culture of collaboration and cooperation. However, teams are often created without a clear strategy or purpose. A data-driven approach to building teams is crucial for organizations to succeed.

Managing a Persuader

Managers often make the mistake of trying to manage everyone in the same way they like. However, this approach can have negative consequences as people have individual needs and preferences regarding management styles. In addition, different teams require different leadership styles. For example, managing a sales team would require a different approach than managing a team of developers.

When working with Persuaders, it's important to remember that they tend to be very outgoing and enthusiastic. They enjoy taking risks and exploring new ideas and often strongly emphasize socializing and building relationships. However, they may struggle with tasks that require a high level of precision and attention to detail. Persuaders are also more likely to prefer working through people rather than relying on strict rules and procedures to solve pre-managing someone with this profile, and it may be helpful to consider some of the following tips:

  • Give them the freedom to do things a different way.

  • Provide opportunities to work with others.

  • Offer flexibility and variety in their day-to-day work.

  • Let them communicate and involve others.

  • Allow them to delegate details.

  • Provide opportunities to participate in cross-functional projects.
