How Can a Reflector Transform Your Team?

Reflectors are the most unusual type and the rarest. Their design is open: They are like a mirror reflecting the people, places, and situations that surround them. They need to wait through a full lunar cycle before making a decision. An individual of this kind is a must for any team. If you have one, consider yourself to be very fortunate. Here’s a little advice for Generators, Projectors, and Manifestors on how to work with a Reflector. Reflectors mustn’t initiate anything. Don’t expect or encourage them to. Decisions of this type should be made without haste, after thinking long and hard and weighing the pros and cons. Otherwise, the results will not be pleasant. The next piece of advice is a continuation of the previous: Do not rush Reflectors. Wait for their decision/answer, if possible. The Reflector will eventually come to the right decision, and it’s sure to be beneficial. Harmonious Reflectors can see what is wrong in a company or a project. They are like an independent judge capable of identifying flaws. A Reflector on your team will always provide a proper assessment of the situation, and that’s a good thing. Seek their opinion. Don’t forget that a Reflector reflects you, and that’s all, so if you’re finding it hard to get along with the Reflector, take a look at yourself. Reflectors really need others and their opinions. This is something that can easily be misused, so be careful to avoid causing undue harm.
