Please do this

Push back head-on when you have evidence.
Lead with the conclusion, keep it short.
Please avoid this
Leaving them to carry it all alone
Forcing a sudden change of direction
Long preambles with no point
Micromanaging how they work
How you recover
Give clear goals and authority. Acknowledge the speed, and help them keep relationships and details in view—they bounce back fast.
Depending on
who's listening
The same words land differently depending on who's listening. Here's what to remember as a Driver around each style.
With a Driver
DoLead with the conclusion and the goal. Split roles up front so you're not both steering.
WatchTwo people pushing means a collision. Agree on who's holding the wheel first.
With a Connector
DoKeep the pace, but add real recognition to keep them motivated.
WatchFacts alone will make them shrink. Mind the warmth of the relationship.
With a Supporter
DoBe clear about direction, but announce changes early and give them time.
WatchPush too hard and they go quiet. Give them a sense of safety first.
With a Analyst
DoPersuade with evidence and data, and leave time for them to review.
Watch"Let's just go" won't work. Explain why first.

In different settings
The same person can look a little different depending on where they are.
With friends
Once a meetup date is set, they make sure everyone actually shows up. They're the most disappointed when someone suggests cancelling.
In group projects
They own their part until the deadline and quietly cover for others who fall behind. That's why they're sometimes worn out at the end.
At home
Once they set a routine for exercise or study, they keep it for months. Frequent changes of plan are hard on them.
Common misreadings
What people see isn't always what's going on inside.
"They're inflexible"
They don't let go of a chosen path easily, but they'll change when the reason is clear. They just need a little time.
"Nothing seems hard for them"
They tend to carry things alone without showing it. Even if they look fine, ask first once in a while.
Common questions
Q. Why don't DS types ask for help?
Their sense of responsibility tells them to finish their part alone. Offer something specific, like "I'll take this part."
Q. How do I tell a DS type the plan has changed?
Explain why it's changing and what stays the same. Seeing what doesn't change helps them accept it much faster.
Q. How do I get along with a DS type?
Notice their consistency. They remember "Thanks for seeing it through" for a long time.
