ENTJ Work Style

The Visionary Type

How ENTJ personality types like to work

Every personality has a different way of working and communicating with others. When you’re working with ENTJs, it’s important to communicate logically. They tend to prioritize logic over emotion, which means that they are often very direct. By learning how to communicate with them in the workplace, you’re more likely to see ENTJs at their best.

Communicating with an ENTJ personality type

Try to get directly to the point of the conversation, rather than bringing in unrelated personal information. Avoid using overly emotional or dramatized phrasing; instead, tell it like it is.

Meeting with an ENTJ personality type

Set and abide by a designated time with ENTJs. Avoid letting the meeting go past its allotted time. Aim to address any concerns that ENTJs have clearly and logically, with evidence to support your claims.

Emailing an ENTJ personality type

Avoid asking unnecessary surface-level questions. Instead of including personal small-talk, get right to the point. State your purpose clearly and offer an in-person meeting to discuss further information.

Giving feedback to an ENTJ personality type

Be direct and concise when providing constructive criticism. Rather than providing a vague perspective, focus on offering goal-based feedback. ENTJs tend to be naturally confident and thick-skinned, so don’t worry too much about easily offending them.

Resolving conflict with an ENTJ personality type

Address conflict directly. Explain your side clearly and avoid displays of emotion. ENTJs will likely pushback, so be prepared to spend some time discussing the issue at hand.

When you make an effort to communicate with ENTJs in a way that they like, you can build a better relationship, empathize with their perspective, and establish needed trust. Making simple adjustments to your communication style can mean a world of difference to understanding and working alongside each other.
