Growth Tips
For the The Helper (Type 2)
Don't take the Six's questioning as distrust. They test everyone; it's actually a sign they care enough to verify.
For the The Loyalist (Type 6)
Reassure the Two through specifics, not generalities. 'I appreciate you' is nice; 'I noticed you did X and it meant a lot' is better.
The Key Insight
This pair builds deep trust when the Two stops managing and the Six stops testing.
