The final category type of people we will look at are the types of people who put relationships over results first. These people are almost the polar opposite of the first type of ‘responsibles’. They would class a job as successful even if the task wasn’t finished as long as people remained friends and relationships were kept intact.
Often these people come across as sociable, understanding, supportive and loving although others can see them as vulnerable, weak, too emotional and not effective. They appear to be tuned in to people’s emotions, are sensitive and interested in details.
As with the ‘analyticals’ from Part 3, the ‘emotionalists’ prefer to be talked to in a quieter gentle tone of voice, and you should be prepared to go into details. It’s important to show an interest in what they have to say if you are looking to engage their attention and you should try to engage and interact with eye contact.
One key trait is that should these type of people feel angry, they will probably express this as an apology. They dislike being shouted or dressed down in public and unlike the ‘creatives’ from Part 2 they don’t like being paraded in public.
In general these type of people do not say what is going for them and don’t like not having information as this makes them feel undervalued. Togetherness is important and if you want an ‘emotionalist’ to co-operate it is probably best to ask for their help and demonstrate how it will help others in the team.
