How to guide him:

How to guide him:

Make sure he understands your wishes be

fore he moves into dynamic action. It's hard
to slow down a tornado once it's in move
ment. He might not understand the impor
tance of research and development as he
puts more emphasis on action. Not being at
tached to the results of the project (whether
it succeeds or fails) is a lesson for him in de
tachment. Encourage him to be doing his
very best regardless.

Give him time to set up a system for the

company. Whatever the department, he's
your time management person. Perfect
for a dispatcher job or a RN public health
nurse who sets up the medical plan for team
members to follow. Make sure that you have
problem solved areas of emotional, political
or logistic difficulties before the new system
is implemented.

Pay attention. Spend 5 minutes a day at his
desk . The personal warmth you show him
will be passed on to others, and he will go a
long way to represent your interests where
you are not present at the office. Let him be
in charge ofXmas gifts, cards, Birthdays.

Have him mentor creative, bright new

employees. He's the one to set up company
Christmas parties or entertain out of town
clients. If he starts to verbalize problems,

Employee on the job:

Friendly, able to put others at ease quickly,

approachable for clients.

High standards, not easily impressed by oth

er people, socially selective, may be at times
reserved with other employees.
How to guide him:
Quality control is his middle name. Let him
use his white gloves on everything. He'll do
it anyway, so you might as well value his gift
for seeing flaws. Do not put him in social set
tings. Let him work independently and re
port back to you. Can be a bit aloof. Remind
him that he is part ofa team lest others think
him arrogant (instead of a loner).

How to guide him:

Send him out to work with difficult clients

or to entertain clients from out of town.
He's great with children, grandparents and
can charm anyone. Best person to welcome
new employees or listen to complaints and
smooth things over for you. Great at PR or
HR (all those R's). If he wants to become too
familiar, be friendly but have firm emotional
boundaries.

He'll be there 7 AM to 7 PM, forceful in his

opinions, has leadership qualities.
How to guide him:

Remind him to go home to his famiJy at

night. That is OK. Teach him to step down
his emotional intensity with other team
members. Not everything needs to be han
dled at 60 M.P.H. Put him at the head of
a project whenever possible. Other team
members will automatically take direction
from him. Unless he's arrogant or has his
own agenda, and then be very careful.

How to guide him:

Wrong person to handle angry clients. (Will

burn him out for days!) Has velvet gloves to
handle clients and be charming. Do not put
him to long work days. If you walk by his
desk and he's playing solitaire on the com
puter, ignore it. He's recharging his mental
batteries (unless he's always playing solitaire!)
