Return to Strategies for Communicating with OIT


 * **My Highest Style(s) D& C** ||
 * **My Classical Pattern Creatiive** ||
 * **Select the three most important strategies**
 * for each of the areas to share with your colleagues** ||
 * //**Creating a positive climate with me…**//
 * 1) Accept that I may be quiet and observant in social situations.
 * 2) Provide opportunities for me to talk knowledgeably with others about a specific subject.
 * 3) Provide situations where my logical and systematic efforts will contribute to long-term success. ||
 * **//When communicating with me…//**
 * 1) I tend to prefer to have time to process new information before responding.
 * 2) I tend to be matter-of-fact, preferring a logical presentation of information rather than emotional expressions.
 * 3) I tend to prefer communication to be somewhat formal in new situations, avoiding personal references and discussions. ||
 * **//When you want to compliment me…//**
 * 1) Acknowledge my ability to remain calm and detached in emotionally charged situations.
 * 2) Recognize the value of my insightful thinking in complex situations.
 * 3) Validate my use of logic in handling problems. ||
 * **//When you need to provide me feedback…//**
 * 1) Specify needed change, explaining why the change is necessary.
 * 2) Provide me with the opportunity to think about the situation before responding.
 * 3) Let me develop a strategy for change before committing to a specific course of action. ||
 * **//When we’re in conflict…//**
 * 1) I initially may withdraw from open conflict, but I can become aggressive.
 * 2) Reduce my defensiveness by acknowledging my thoughts, without reacting defensively, by saying "I can see your point".
 * 3) Minimize time spent discussing all the factors contributing to the issue in the past by focusing on what is going to be done right now to resolve the conflict. ||
 * **//When we need to problem-solve…//**
 * 1) I tend to prefer an analytical, systematic approach to solving problems, considering all contributing factors and possible consequences.
 * 2) I tend to want to find a perfect solution.I may need help in developing a workable solution rather than a perfect solution. ||
 * **//When we need to make decisions…//**
 * 1) I can get bogged down in "what-if" concerns.
 * 2) I may need reassurance on what the personal consequences of being wrong will be. ||
