Influencing the Compliance Personality – “C”

Welcome to this week's Life Warm-Up™ -

Building Your Influencer Inc. Company

Life Warm-Up™ 

Howdy All!

Remember the theme for this year is, “Living a Life of Influence!”

Influencing the Compliance Personality – “C”

The “C” personality is a combination of Slower-Paced and Task-Oriented.

“C” stands for Compliance and can be summarized with the following descriptors:

• Competent
• Cognitive
• Cautious
• Consistent
• Critical thinking
• Conformist
• Careful
• Conscientious
• Correct
• Cold

1.      Everyone has to a lesser or greater extent the “C” traits. 

2.      The stronger the “C” tendency the more you like to move slowly while effectively completing a task. 

3.      The lesser the “C” tendency the more you like to speed up and interact with people.

4.      Again no one is strictly just a “C”.

5.      You are a unique blend of all four personality traits.

6.      However, if you notice someone that likes to move more slowly while working on tasks then in order to influence them we must learn to adapt our pace and priority to meet their own.

7.      Influence is not about losing your identity or having to compromise.

8.      Influence is the ability to understand where others are coming from and impact them positively.

9.      Something a High “C” might say, “Why exactly are we doing this?  Has anybody actually ever done this before?  Is there anything I can do to make this process more productive and effective? Just in case maybe we should slow down and really pay attention to the details.”

10.  When you walk away from an interaction the thoughts of the other person should be, “Wow, they seemed to really understand where I was coming from, I want to be around them more!”

11.  That’s influence!

Interact with Influence with a “C” by:

• Be factual and organized
• Allow them to ask as many questions as they need when appropriate
• Focus on procedures and details when developing a plan of attack
• Be specific and accurate and logical
• Be results-oriented when working with them, but give them time to process
• Know that they are motivated by doing the job correctly not necessarily quickly

Have a great week,

Sincerely,

Pete Hinojosa
