logical presentation of your idea and then give the Owls plenty of time to evaluate your
suggestions. In meetings, owls like a formal approach, to keep to the agenda, and to have
everything recorded and documented, including who said what. This ensures that a reliable
record of the meeting is available for future reference. Owls always complain in writing, and
they usually have copies of relevant documents attached. Organisations should always respond
in the same way to an Owl.

will need to have a brief hard hitting presentation that is packed with benefits that will bring
about a significant impact in a short period of time.

leader is ineffective. Eagles will take their complaints straight to management, they are hard
and non negotiable its usually their way or no way.

tune out. Eagles are frustrated by people who have no goals and no direction in life. Eagles are
fiercely competitive.
