Fighters, Bards, Druids and Wizards in IT – How to Talk to Them?
summary
Four workplace archetypes map to DISC and two axes (energy and task vs people) and each gets concrete tactics: Fighter (dominant) wants short agendas, checklists and Jira tickets; Bard (influential) responds to stories and visibility; Druid (steadiness) needs one‑on‑one briefings and psychological safety; Wizard (conscientious) demands data, links and precise requirements. Presenter demonstrates tools used (Excel/Doodle for scheduling, Jira for tickets), claims diverse teams with all four types outperform homogenous ones, and warns that missing a Druid fractures team cohesion.
