Collaborator

What is a collaborator

The Collaborator is a persistent, eager teammate, with an intuitive understanding of other viewpoints and perspectives. They will regularly reach out to assess other people’s needs, and their considerate demeanor helps them develop and maintain personal relationships at work.

Four Key Words

Easygoing | Approachable | Patient | Cooperative

OVERVIEW ABOUT collaborators

Collaborators can adjust quickly to changing social environments, generate collective buy-in on the fly, and generally deal with people-focused situations well. They are driven to get things done - and specifically, they’re focused on getting the important things done through teamwork.

HOW TO MANAGE A collaborator

Collaborators need frequent contact and communication with others, particularly in a team environment. They do best when they’re able to offer assistance within well-defined work routines that are both consistent and predictable.

HIGHEST & LOWEST DRIVES

  • With a High Extraversion Drive they need connection, interaction, understand the people dynamic.
  • With a Low Formality drive they will need freedom, flexibility and space to do things their own way.

FACTOR COMBINATIONS

  • They will have a B>D making them very informal, persuasive and fluent in verbal communication.

SELF COACHING QUESTIONS

  • Have you considered how everyone else is feeling about this project or idea? Are they keeping up with your spoken ideas or do they need it written down in detail?
  • Have you considered looking closely at the data and facts, or are you relying too much on team enthusiasm and gut feeling?
  • Have you considered following the established processes, or is your casual approach causing confusion for more structured team members?
