Generalist

Generalists are people who strive for balance and holistic solutions. They want to recognize all aspects in order to perceive the different and often conflicting concerns appropriately. When you communicate with a generalist, you are always providing an overview and weighing the pros and cons.

A generalist has a balance of all motivations:

Communication

Communication with a generalist should above all provide orientation. He strives for both assertiveness and security. Recognition and belonging are also important to him. Serving these conflicting basic needs appropriately requires rational insight and emotional empathy. And that’s exactly what you can provide.
For your face-to-face meetings, depending on the topics and objectives, presentations are helpful. These allow you to give an overview in advance and perhaps summarize the key points later. Alternatively, armed with paper and a pen, you can sketch out the context with him or for him. With these tools, you support the generalist’s comprehensive orientation. Remember that it is important for him to consider all aspects. Checklists have been developed for people like him at some point.
The generalist has questions and expects answers. Written communication offers him the advantage of being able to consider and weigh up all aspects calmly and from the necessary distance. This requires you to provide a clear and well-structured overview and comprehensive information. Perhaps you start with a summary of the important aspects, expand on what is necessary and give him the opportunity to explore further details, for example, via links. Show your willingness to answer further unanswered questions, for example, by brief e-mail follow-up questions.
