Influencing the Dominant Personality – “D”

The “D” personality is a combination of Fast-Paced and Task-Oriented.

“D” stands for Dominance and can be summarized with the following descriptors:

• Dominant
• Demanding
• Direct
• Determined
• Decisive
• Doer
• Dictatorial
• Dogmatic
• Dreamer
• Defiant

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

2.      The stronger the “D” tendency the more you like to move fast and get results. 

3.      The lesser the “D” tendency the more you like to slow down and think about how this will impact the people around you. 

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

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

6.      However, if you notice someone that likes to move fast and get the task done then in order to influence them we must learn to adapt our pace and priority to meet their own.

Interact with Influence with a “D” by:

·         Being brief and to the point

·         Allowing them to be in charge when appropriate

·         Focusing on actions and goals when developing a plan of attack

·         Being willing to stand up for what you believe

·         Being results-oriented when working with them

·         Knowing that they are motivated by a challenge

Have a great week,
