1. My Top Five Themes – Mark Neff
1 - Strategic
I naturally try to pull the complexity out of any situation and try to find the most logical solution.
Some keys to working with people who are high in Strategic:
Ask lots of questions, don’t be afraid to counter act
Allow for interaction and team work.
Ask to be shown how something works rather than tell them
2 - Relator
Once I get to know people, I work extremely well with them. I also have the ability to work well with all types of people
Some keys to working with people who are high in Relator:
Try to include them as much as possible
Create a relaxing atmosphere
3 – Includer
Wants to include everyone, works to teach and involve people with new knowledge.
Some keys to working with people who are high in Includer:
Create interactive working sessions where everyone has a role.
4 - Analytical
Searches for reasons and causes. Peels layers back for understanding.
Some keys to working with people who are high in Analytical:
Provide them with the numbers/background that supports your position.
Getting a task done correctly may be more important than meeting a deadline
5 – Futuristic
I’m always thinking about what things might be like in the future and try to think of long term impacts.
Some keys to working with people high in Futuristic:
Always provide options. Be creative and envision the future and impacts of current actions.
Avoid situations or answers that include statements like “It’s always been done that way”
