Interaction guides

Working across the four styles

Sixteen short guides, one for every pairing. Each is written from yourside of the table — pick your style, then who you're working with.

If you are the Eagle

Working with another Eagle

Split the decision rights before you need them.

Working with Peacock

Credit them, then get the owner and the date in writing.

Working with Dove

Their first "sounds good" is not a yes.

Working with Owl

Send the question early, name the confidence level you need.

If you are the Peacock

Working with Eagle

Point first, story later, and close the loop where they can see it.

Working with another Peacock

Owner and date, or it did not happen.

Working with Dove

The quiet is not agreement, it is you still talking.

Working with Owl

Flag when you are riffing, then leave room for the answer.

If you are the Dove

Working with Eagle

Object early, briefly, and in terms of cost.

Working with Peacock

Enjoy the conversation, then send the recap.

Working with another Dove

Comfortable is not the same as working.

Working with Owl

They critiqued the work, not you.

If you are the Owl

Working with Eagle

Answer first, evidence on request.

Working with Peacock

Yes-and first, then the constraints.

Working with Dove

Ask twice, and put a date on it.

Working with another Owl

Decide what "enough" looks like before you start.

For self-awareness and team development only — not for hiring, promotion, or clinical decisions.
