OVERVIEW ABOUT ALTRUISTS
Altruists tend to get along with a variety of people. They are not only driven to work well with others, but they actually derive enjoyment from helping everyone - from clients and colleagues, to managers and direct reports.
HOW TO MANAGE An Altruist
Altruists thrive when they have opportunities to learn and interact with a variety of people, absorbing everything they can about the role and business. They prefer freedom from too much repetition, and value assurances that their work is respected and appreciated.
HIGHEST & LOWEST DRIVES
- With a High Extraversion Drive they need connection, interaction, understand the people dynamic.
- With a Low Dominance drive they will need collaboration, harmony and space to work alongside others.
FACTOR COMBINATIONS
- They will have a B>A making them very people-focused, empathetic and consensus-driven.
SELF COACHING QUESTIONS
- Have you considered how everyone else is feeling about this project or idea? Are you speaking up for your own needs or just focused on keeping everyone else happy?
- Have you considered whether your desire to help others is causing you to say "yes" too much and take on more work than you can realistically handle?
- Have you considered sharing your honest, constructive feedback even if it feels uncomfortable, rather than avoiding it just to maintain team harmony?
