You are the ENTJ personality in the MBTI type 16 personality , and you are known as the 'domineering president'. He is decisive in his work, his mind moves faster than anyone else, and he is born with a leadership aura. With your persistent pursuit of efficiency and results, as well as your strong strategic thinking ability, you can make your mark in many fields. But sometimes we can encounter embarrassment: for example, interrupting others during a meeting and saying 'This plan is too inefficient', and the atmosphere suddenly becomes cold; or if you silently get a big project done, you are said to be 'too strong and unmannerable.'
In fact, it is very simple for ENTJ to win respect. You don’t need to hide your edge. Just learn to “hard and soft” and turn your leadership into the charm of “everyone convinces you”!
1. 10 'respected' techniques that ENTJ must see
1. Facing elder leaders: Don’t be a “command machine” and learn to “conversate”
You know who has the real ability and can quickly understand the problems in the organization with your keen understanding of efficient systems and structures. But opening your mouth is like giving an order: 'This must be done.' The leader may think you are rude. ENTJs should understand that in a hierarchical environment, age and experience are often given high value.
Practical trick : Change it to 'I have studied three solutions, based on the analysis of past similar projects data, among which Plan A is the most efficient, and is expected to reduce the cost by 20% and the time by 15%. Do you think you want to try it?' Turning 'command' into 'suggestions', both showing professionalism and giving to the other side.
2. Don’t be a weapon with knowledge: don’t show your superiority in IQ, and “down-to-earth output”
You know a lot of professional knowledge, and with your intuition and thinking personality traits, you can quickly absorb and integrate information. But when chatting with a colleague, he said, 'Don't you understand this?' The other party instantly became a passerby.
Example : When training the team, replace the advanced theory with 'Last year we used this method, and the cost was reduced by 30%. We were divided into three steps...' Only by speaking with the results will others think you are powerful and reliable.
3. Don’t be a “militarized commander” in your family
You may have made a schedule and study plan for your family, hoping that everything is in order. But parents said, 'You care too much.'
Smart practice : When holding a family meeting, he said: 'I have sorted out our small goals for the next six months. Considering everyone's interests and needs, such as traveling, learning new skills, etc., let's see where we need to adjust?' Turning 'compulsory enforcement' into 'co-planning', our family is more willing to cooperate.
4. Don’t be a “lone wolf leader” at work
You are used to shouldering all the heavy responsibilities yourself, and relying on your strong execution ability and persistence in your goals, you believe that you can complete the tasks efficiently. But the subordinates felt that 'you don't trust me at all.'
Key points : When assigning tasks, say: 'You are responsible for the implementation of this project, and I will control the direction. I will provide success stories and data support for similar projects in the past. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time.' Delegate power and support, and the team will think you are leading and reliable.
5. Self-discipline is not a 'obsessive-compulsive tyrant'
You get up at 5 o'clock every day to work, and you also ask the team to be like you, believing that high efficiency brings high returns. But my colleague said privately, 'It's too credible.'
Small change : Occasionally share your 'fishing moment': 'Get off work early today to accompany your family, and fight for work tomorrow!' Let others see that you have a life, but instead respect your efforts more.
6. Don't be a 'black or white judge'
You can't stand people who are perfunctory and rely on firm principles and logical thinking to think that things should be done in the right way. But saying 'Your level is too poor' will offend people.
High emotional intelligence practice : The other party’s plan has loopholes. You can say: 'This direction is very good. Judging from the market feedback data, if XX data support is added, the persuasiveness will be stronger, and it is expected to increase the success rate by 30%. 'Confirm first and then suggest, it will be easier for the other party to accept it.
7. Don’t pretend to be cool when you need to admit defeat
You won a big project but don’t say it, and you don’t think you have much to say about your strength. As a result, my colleagues robbed me of me. When ENTJ displays results, it is necessary to grasp the degree, neither show off nor bury its own contributions.
What to do : When reporting, he said: 'Thanks to the cooperation of the team this time, I was mainly responsible for the design of key strategies. Through market research and data analysis, I used new methods to increase efficiency by 40%, saving 20% of the cost for the project.' It is not only not to seize the credit, but also let the leaders know your core role.
8. Don’t be the “king of quarrels”, first reconcile emotions and then reason
My friend complained to you, but you began to analyze right or wrong: 'I think you have a problem too...' The other party was furious.
Correct operation : First say: 'I was angry about this matter, too frustrating! Judging from your description, it really makes people uncomfortable.' Wait until the other party is calm, then ask: 'Do you want to think about how to solve it together? I have several ideas, based on experience in similar situations...' It not only soothes emotions but also solves the problem.
9. Don’t just rely on “smashing others” when growing up, try “heart-wrenching cooperation”
You are used to getting everything done by yourself, and with your strong ability and confidence, you believe that you can deal with various challenges. But when attending industry summits, only focus on outputting opinions, no one wants to have a deep relationship with you.
Effective growth : Take the initiative to ask your colleagues: 'You have been working in this field for 5 years and must have accumulated a lot of experience. I am recently studying the XX project and encountered XX problems. Do you have any experience or unique insights to avoid pitfalls?' Let the other party feel respected and learn real things.
10. Do not be an 'airborne commander' when doing charity
You have proposed a bunch of renovation plans for the community and believe that your plan can make the community better. But residents said, 'You don't understand what we need at all.'
Skills for making sense of presence : First, go door to door and ask: 'Which community do you think needs improvement the most? Is it infrastructure, environmental greening, or community activities?' After collecting opinions, then issue a plan, attaching 'Compiled according to the suggestions of 100 households', everyone will think you are reliable and considerate.
