We are at the end of another series! We hope you have enjoyed it so far!
We first looked at how the heart-centered Types – the Type 2s, Type 3s and Type 4s function at the workplace and how can leaders and managers support them.
Then, we looked at the Body-centered Types – the Type 8s, the Type 9s and the Type 1s
Last but not least, we looked at the Head-centered Types, starting with the Type 5s and the Type 6s. Today, we end this series by looking at the Type 7s.
Type 7s in the office
At their core, the Type 7s are ones who bring positive energy to the workplace and make it fun with their wit, their joyful personas and bright smiles. When things go wrong, they are the ones who remind us to keep our chins up, remain optimistic and ride the storm out.
7 Wing 6s in the office tend to be good at setting work structures with their analytical minds working at a very fast speeds. They are usually committed in seeing a work task to its completion and are dependable workers.
7 Wing 8s in the office tend to possess great inner strength and can endure long days better than most in the office. They also possess great confidence in their abilities and this allows them to be more of a risk taker and opportunity seeker that helps contribute to a steady flow of projects coming into any organisation they work for.
How to support the 7s in the office
- Allow them to lead in the ideation process when starting any projects. There usually are a few gems uncovered when they brainstorm ideas with others.
- Give them a challenge to keep them motivated through a mundane work day. Allow them to make their work fun as long as it is within reason.
- Be there for them when they come to you asking if they could speak to you about a problem. Drop everything then and allow them the safe space for them to talk. All you need to do is listen and be there for them.
To the Type 7s, we would like to say:
Your optimism is what makes you the gem that you are but know that we also would love you the same if you trust us enough to open up to us with the pains in your heart too. You do not need to always be the one to bring laughter into our lives. Let us hold space for you when you need a shoulder to cry on as well.
