We are a small team of 3: INTJ as team leader, an ISTJ and an ESFJ.
Communicating instructions and clarifying tasks is easy and efficient with ISTJ. Once the job requirements are understood, off she goes. She completes all tasks efficiently and with very high quality. If she makes any mistakes, she feels ashamed and without prompting she re-does all work till the job is done to a great satisfaction.
Communicating instructions and clarifying tasks is very difficult with ESFJ. She always says that she understands and feels very annoyed when queried about details. Often she makes mistakes and mostly she will deny it was her fault. She will pin it on wrong instructions or any other available excuse.
Asking her to repeat the instructions is very offensive to her. The only reasonable outcome so far, is to give her a list of each task required, date of completion and expected outcomes. I can see she doesn’t like it, but it is the only way so far she will accomplish the job to requirements.
BTW, the work we do is of a technical nature and ESFJ does not have problems understanding the job at the level of her performance requirements.
I was wondering if there was a better way for an INTJ of communicating with an ESFJ? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
