ENFPs love when their coworkers are open to trying new things. They thrive when they’re able to work at their own pace and think outside the box. Often, they want to connect with coworkers outside of a work environment, so they tend to feel most comfortable working with people who want to get to know them personally.
When others on their team are able to appreciate their original thought, allow them to pursue new opportunities, and connect with them outside of work, ENFPs are likely to feel happy and confident, which will help them be more effective at work.
ENFPs tend to enjoy flexibility. They don’t like being trapped into rigid schedules. ENFPs’ coworkers should try and give them opportunities to be a little spontaneous.
They may struggle working alone, especially if it’s a regular, constant thing. However, if they have opportunities to meet or work with others, they’re likely to feel much more comfortable in their position.
ENFPs may also have a hard time facing conflict with another person. They want to keep the peace and will likely avoid tense conversations. When they are able to feel comfortable with another person and can express themselves without feeling attacked or misunderstood, ENFPs are likely to discuss their frustrations more confidently.
ENFPs tend to be good at considering their partner. They are able to see things from the other person’s perspective pretty easily, so they’re likely to understand what their partner is experiencing. They are open to hearing new thoughts and ideas from their partner, and will likely appreciate the chance to step outside their comfort zone. ENFPs are also able to connect with their partner on a deep, personal level, which can help strengthen a relationship quickly.
ENFPs tend to have a difficult time discussing conflict with their partner. They may avoid tense conversations by keeping their concerns to themselves. However, they should try to recognize the importance of talking through issues, rather than keeping them bottled up.
ENFPs may also have problems accepting feedback. They may take it too personally, which can cause them to feel hurt or frustrated easily, even when the other person has good intentions. However, with a bit of work, ENFPs can learn to see the importance of constructive feedback.
They tend to struggle with giving up their freedom, which can frustrate a partner who wants more structure or consistency in a relationship. ENFPs will have to negotiate their priorities, at times, to meet their partner’s needs, as well as their own.
