When you’re working with ENFJs, it’s important to talk with them in a warm, empathetic way.

As
natural feelers, they tend to enjoy connecting with others on a more personal level. By learning
how to communicate and work with them, you’re more likely to see ENFJs at their best.

Focus on being constructive when giving feedback. Be sure to encourage them, as well, rather
than just piling on negativity. Be prepared to talk through any concerns they may have.

Encourage ENFJ types to share how they’re feeling, as it may be difficult for them to express
honestly; reassure them that conflict is normal and share encouragement, while discussing your
own feelings in return.

ENFJs thrive when they feel appreciated at work. They’re likely to work well when they feel like
what they’re doing matters. They appreciate when coworkers offer encouragement and support
for their leadership skills.

When others on their team are able to value them, support their decisions, and appreciate their
leadership, ENFJs are likely to feel comfortable and confident, which will help them be more
effective at work.

ENFJs have a natural charisma and great persuasive skills that make them influential leaders in the
workplace. Their strength in the use of spoken language often propels them to take up the
spokesperson role in their teams.

They strive for cooperation and harmony in the workplace, preferring to cooperate with their
colleagues to reach a common goal rather than compete with them. They enjoy empowering and
equipping people, and will, therefore, take up a teacher or mentor's role when given a chance.

Highly creative and innovative, ENFJs often have big, humanitarian visions and a good idea about
how to use people and resources to achieve their desired objectives. A strong believer in people's
potential, their best work is often done when they believe they're making a positive impact in the
world through their work.

COACH

ENFJs are strong people, who are constantly striving to care for everyone in their lives. This can
put a lot of pressure on the ENFJ to be perfect and to always hold everyone else up. Even though
ENFJs take this upon themselves, it can become a bit overwhelming after a while, especially if they
don’t feel like they are being appreciated. When the ENFJ is feeling down and exhausted, they
need their loved ones to give them encouragement. The best way to encourage the ENFJ is by
showing appreciation and showering them with love. The ENFJ needs to realize that their hard
work is valued and that the people close to them realize how much they do.

The ENFJ

When ENFJs are struggling in life or chronically stressed, they can become more isolated
and detached than usual. They may be especially self-critical, finding ways to blame
themselves for all the issues they are dealing with. They can also become obsessed with
details, trying to find solutions or “fixes”. When ENFJs are in this phase it’s important not
to come along and offer MORE solutions (this will only make them feel worse). What they
need is someone to pull them aside and offer support. Simply letting them know that you
are there for them, they can say whatever they want to say, and no matter how it sounds you
will listen without judgment is extremely encouraging. ENFJs are one of the only types
who really want people to draw closer to them under stress rather than leave them alone.
Show them you’re there. Don’t nitpick what they say because they’ve probably done
enough of that already. After offering support and letting them vent, sometimes having a
laugh or getting a change of scenery is encouraging for them.

If an ENFJ isn’t depressed or stressed, but needs encouragement towards reaching a goal
then your strategy should be different. Join them in their vision, plan with them, dream with
them. Let them know that you have faith in their abilities and ask them if they need any
help with the details. Check in regularly to ask how things are going to show that you
support them in their efforts. Show them the personal implications of accomplishing their
goal – how it will impact others, how it will improve the world, how it aligns with a value
of theirs.

https://personalitygrowth.com/heres-how-to-best-encourage-each-personality-type/

ENFJ: Notice when they’re struggling. Ask them questions that are hard but direct. Listen without
judgement. Support without limits. Acknowledge that their feelings are valid. Offer perspectives
they may have forgotten. Help them get out of their heads and reconnect with their environment
in a meaningful and mood-enhancing way. Remind them of the value they bring to other’s lives
when they’ve forgotten.

ENFJs aim to serve as all-knowing mentors to those around them. The #1 way to motivate them is
to act as though their guidance is essential to accomplishing a given task or project. They’ll jump at
the chance to teach you what they know and help you reach your target.

ENFJs often work great in a team and even do well as the team leader. They have a natural skill for
calming down a room full of people, which makes them excellent mediators in a team. They know
how to bring people together who would normally have trouble in a team. This makes ENFJs great
team members and even leaders, creating an excellent and positive atmosphere. ENFJs can work
alone just fine, but thrive when they are working with a group of people. They especially do well if
they are with people who aren’t afraid to take orders and don’t become intimidated easily.

People-focused diplomats, this group tends to forget their own needs in favor of the greater
good, and that can sometimes be detrimental – not just in terms of burnout, but also when
completing their own tasks. However, with this group, the positives vastly outweigh any
negatives. 

“It’s always a good idea to have Protagonists lead group discussions, even if they’re not in
a leadership role, because they excel at it,” says Peacock. “They should be your go-to Zoom
meeting host, and at the heart of any situation involving discussion, consensus, and the
bringing together of people and ideas.”
