I and I: compatibility
Two people who love people, ideas and attention. Together they have fun and things come easily, but someone has to watch the deadlines and details.
An I and I pair means energy, optimism and a stream of ideas. They find common ground quickly, support each other and create an atmosphere around them that people want to work in. The problems come from outside: promises made, deadlines forgotten, details nobody checked. Another trap is competing for attention: both want to be center stage, and the conversation turns into two monologues. Such a pair needs an external anchor: written agreements, a calendar and a colleague with a pronounced C or S.
What they have in common
- Sociability and ease of contact
- Optimism and faith in ideas
- A dislike of formalities and routine
Where friction arises
- Both talk, nobody listens
- Promises without a plan: deadlines and details slip
- Conflicts are hushed up to keep the mood good
Tips for the Influence style (I)
- End every meeting with a list: who, what, by when
- Split the roles: one leads the conversation, the other takes notes
- Ask a C or an S to check the plan before you announce it
