Summary
The compassionate and peaceful Dove. The Dove is people-orientated, loyal, friendly, hardworking and a great team player but tends to avoid change, confrontation, risk-taking and assertiveness.
The Dove is the symbol for peace. Therefore, a person with a Dove personality is typically easy-going and friendly. A Dove is a people-pleaser and a team-player. A Dove is loyal and hardworking, but tends to avoid conflict and confrontation. A Dove likes to play it safe and doesn't like taking risks. Often, a Dove would rather go with the flow than to be assertive in his or her needs. Typically, a Dove has a submissive personality. A Dove is a tenderheart and tends to think with emotions.
Doves are a caring group of people who take a relaxed approach to life. They take one day at a time and are good at stopping to smell the roses. The most important thing to Doves is friendliness and their best skill is in relationship-building. Doves prefer to communicate 1-on-1 and face-to-face. If you want to persuade a Dove, you need to assure them that everyone affected has been considered. Since Doves aren’t usually good decision makers, you will probably need to work through the decision process with them. Doves take a very democratic attitude towards decisions which tends to take a longer time.
In meetings, Doves prefer an informal ‘team talk’ like atmosphere where everyone has the opportunity to share their thoughts. Doves will avoid complaining and confrontation because they dislike interpersonal conflict.
Because Doves enjoy dealing with the public and making people feel good, they are the best people to front an organisation. Since Doves make such an effort to be polite and courteous to everyone, they do not like people who are blunt, direct and cold.
Doves can communicate better with the direct Peacock and Eagle by picking up the pace and becoming more assertive. They need to state their opinion more forcefully and be willing to reach beyond their comfort zone when dealing with direct styles. To better communicate with controlling Owls and Eagles, Doves should focus less on relationships and more on the task. They should concentrate on the results, not feelings.
