Specialist

Specialists are performance-oriented and reliable people. They are the typical professionals who feel confident in their field. They deal critically with innovations and changes, because in case of doubt, there is a lot to be said for proven solutions. Quality and order are the priority. When you communicate with a specialist, factual issues are at the forefront.

The strongest motivations of a specialist are:

Communication

Communication with a specialist should serve the specialist’s basic needs for individuality (recognition) and reliability (security). It is about facts and quality, as well as their order and safeguarding. The specialist wants to keep on learning, and for this he needs insider information and accepted professional documentation, such as investigation reports from independent institutes. He wants to expand his knowledge and be in demand as a specialist. You can be his informant.
Typical conversations with specialists are friendly, interested and somewhat detached. You are not dealing with an emotional relationship person, but with a specialist. Maintain the slightly distant but friendly conversational attitude toward him. If you want to convince him of an idea, concentrate on verifiable facts and give him time to think it over calmly. Any communicative pressure will only fuel his mistrust.
The specialist prefers written communication. It gives him the time to read and consider everything carefully. He deals critically with information that is new to him. Before he accepts your representations, he wants to check them and compare them with his own knowledge, so that he can then follow up in writing if necessary. This is how continuously growing e-mail dialogs are created. These can hardly be avoided, because they provide the specialist with the necessary reassurance that everything has been clarified.

If you want to know more about the specialist, use the pocket book: The motivational type “specialist” (german edition). Here you will get the important information about the basic needs and about the typical characteristics, relationships and communication of the specialist. In addition, you will read what the specialist can do for his well-being, how he learns most easily and which professions suit him. The book also includes a checklist for all important decisions.
