Strategist

Strategists want to achieve their goals in a safe way. They like successful, because well-planned developments. It is quite possible that it was strategists who developed the network planning technique and similar methods. Anyone who communicates with a strategist should not only talk about visions, but also about opportunities, risks and realization possibilities.

The strongest motivations of a strategist are:

Communication

Communication with a strategist should take into account the strategist’s conflicting basic needs for assertion (achieve success) and security (avoid risks). It is like mountain climbing. We have the summit in view and climb upward, but we secure the path and have a firm foothold. Visualize the goal with attractive pictures or films - and give it something to touch that secures the way there (for example, printouts, certificates, models).
There are two different attitudes in conversations with a strategist, and they can always diverge. When it comes to goals, enthusiasm comes up. We talk about visions and form a picture of what we want to achieve. When we ask about possible paths, we get serious. Now it’s a matter of certainty and feasibility. This requires calm reflection. Now it is important to be able to touch and grasp something. As a facilitator, you accompany the conversation until it is clear and established: This is the goal and this is the way. Now we have a well-considered plan.
The strategist thinks and feels on two levels, which you can consider in your written communication. The one who makes a vision looks up. Those who hedge their bets look down. Above are the images that represent the goal. Below, we find the stable foundation. This principle can be implemented well in presentations. In this way, the strategist finds his secure footing in the footnotes and at the same time keeps the goal in front of his eyes. On this basis, you develop a proposal for implementation. The final decision is then in the best hands with the strategist. He will prevail after the plan is in place.
