What Makes Them Tick?
Loyalist Sceptics - Profile 6
• Focused on watching for the hidden motives of others - to ensure their own safety and security
• Seek relationships with organisations that promise protection - to which their response will be loyalty and duty
• Tend to be wary of authorities - will either submit to those they trust or challenge head on those they don’t
• Are suspicious of those they have to trust -especially those closest to them
What Makes Them Tick?
Loyalist Sceptics (Cont)
• Have a problem with trusting long-term plans - and programs
• Will willingly follow a charismatic leader
• If an information vacuum is created - they will fill it themselves
• Crave certainty - as well as predictability and consistency
What Makes Them Tick?Passive - Profile 9
• Will focus on avoiding conflict - by accepting the wishes of others and forgetting their own point of view
• Are able to see all points of view
• Will postpone change for as long as possible -to avoid the anger and separation that often accompanies change
Analytical - Profile 9
• Focused on observing and collecting powerful information - which they can then use to give their own position credibility
What Makes Them Tick?All or Nothing - Profile 7
• Want the organisation to ‘get on with it’
• Are personally assertive - use confrontation to get to the ‘truth’
• Want to hear about outcomes - not promises
• Will seek to avoid failure - or being associated with failure at all costs
• Do hold grudges - and will extract revenge for any perceived wrong doings by an organisation
• Need collaboration - not competition
• Follow vocal, natural leaders
• Are drawn towards a solution - that best benefits them
Effectively Engaging Profile 6Loyalist Sceptics - Profile 6
• Must be provided with rationale and logical explanations
• Will not respond well to hyberbole - spin oremotion
• Prefer to engage with people who they perceive are ‘taking the lead’
• Respond well to people who have a clear, established role of ‘authority’
• Need to be told what their role is in the process
• Need clarity as to what is going to happen - when, where, how and why
• Prefer to engage with people they perceive as professional and informed
• Want information that is clear - and not vague in any way
Effectively Engaging Profile 9Passive & Analytical - Profile 9
• Need to have specific actions confirmed to them – what is going to happen when, why, where and how
• They need these actions to be constantly reconfirmed
• Need to understand from the outset clear performance project / campaign goals
• Have a tendency to focus on agreed milestones - as well as deadlines and timeframes, and whether they are being met
• Need to be given time and space - if they are being asked to provide direct input, feedback or a specific response
Effectively Engaging Profile 9Passive & Analytical (Cont)
• Need to be given advance notice - and warning if content and information is to be communicated to them
• Need to be engaged using brief, edited and to the point communications materials
• Just because they remain silent - don’t make the mistake of interpreting this as a lack of response or agreement
• Often they are agreeing or responding ‘on the inside’
Effectively Engaging Profile 9
Passive & Analytical (Cont)
• Do not take it for granted that their verbal ‘yes’ -will translate into a positive attitudinal or behavioural response
• Do not engage with people they perceive are being controlling or domineering - they want a collaborative and co-operative approach
• Do not engage with people they perceive as being pretentious or pompous
• Do not engage with people they perceive are trying to paint a pretty picture or falsely motivate or mislead them – this will be perceived as manipulative and the person doing the communicating will be seen as untrustworthy
Effectively Engaging Profile 7
All or Nothing - Profile 7
• Will engage with people who come across as being fully prepared at all times
• Will engage with people who get to the key points and messages - as quickly as possible
• If you make a promise to do something then you must do it –or you will lose their support and commitment
• Do not respond well to ‘fluffy communication’ – must be avoided at all cost
• Will not engage with people they perceive are trying to compete with them – want to collaborate with people
• Need clear expectations and responsibilities – will not respond well to indiscernible boundaries that appear to drag on forever
