Assistant

Assistants are kind, helpful people. They are all about togetherness, reliability and order. They simply want their friends, superiors and colleagues to be well for the long term. Anyone who communicates with an assistant should be attentive and calmly explain their concerns in a way that is comprehensible and believable to them.

The strongest motivations of an assistant are:

Communication

Communication with an assistant should take into account his basic needs for belonging (integration) and security (order). He likes personal conversations, preferably with friends or colleagues, and something he can hold in his hand that gives him the necessary security. This can be written documents or models. Be his trusted advisor.
It’s about common ground and avoiding unnecessary risks. If the assistant is to decide on something, he wants to agree on it with his people after he has calmly considered what the consequences might be. This means: don’t push him to make spontaneous decisions. He needs his time. As a friendly, honest and approachable advisor, you are his personal assistant during the discussion. Weigh up the pros and cons with him. Then calmly and confidently recommend what the next steps should be.
Assistants prefer to be able to read everything important in black and white and print it out if necessary. The reliability he wants is also reflected in compliance with the rules for correspondence. Neatly and clearly your information should be prepared in such a way that the assistant can pass it on to his people and talk about it with them. Motivating arguments have to do with sustainability and references, he does not want to make lonely decisions.
