Question for “Ask Dr. A” – 

How Two Very Different People Should Work Together

I am in DISC Wheel space 3 and my assistant is in space 6.  How can I get them to do things more quickly?

Answer from “Ask Dr. A

To encourage your assistant in Space 6 to work more quickly, consider the following strategies tailored to their behavior styles:

Understanding Space 6

Your assistant is likely to be systematic, conscientious, and prefer structure.  They may be slow to change & value logical solutions.  This means they might take more time to process information & make decisions.  

Communication Tips

  1. Be Clear and Specific: Provide clear, concise instructions and define individual contributions in writing.  This helps them understand exactly what is expected.
  2. Use Logical Arguments: Present your requests with logical reasoning and tangible evidence to support the urgency of the task.
  3. Set Timelines: Establish a scheduled timetable for tasks, allowing them to plan their work effectively while ensuring deadlines are met.  
  4. Encourage Feedback: Ask “how?” questions to engage them in the process and ensure they feel involved, which can motivate them to act more quickly.

Avoiding Pitfalls

  • Avoid rushing them or presenting information in a disorganized manner, as this can lead to resistance.
  • Don't’ overwhelm them with emotions or rapid changes; instead, maintain a calm and steady approach.  

By aligning your communication style with their preferences, you can foster a more efficient working relationship and encourage action on tasks.
