How to get along at work
For the Connector
- Give the Organizer a clear reason and a small pilot before proposing a big change.
- Flag changes early — last-minute surprises cost the Organizer more than you think.
- Don’t read the Organizer’s quiet in meetings as disinterest — share the agenda ahead so they can prepare.
- Share the reasons behind your concerns — the Organizer responds best to a clear “why”.
For the Organizer
- Try the Connector’s idea as a short experiment before deciding it won’t work.
- Agree on the few things that must be fixed, and leave the Connector room to work in their own way.
- Say when you need focus time, so the Connector doesn’t read it as you shutting them out.
- Acknowledge how a decision will land with people before explaining why it’s right.
