    They can study their DNA to discover their bad habits and try to fix them. And reminding themselves to keep working at their habits.

    1. Divert their energy to control and manipulate others to coaching and mentoring others....make this a habit and soon, it will be character.

    It’s impossible to fully suppress this urge. However, builders can work on it by “nurturing and nourishing relationships with others.

    1.) They can try to allow time for people to catch up, because as builders, they tend to want to go to the next level. they can overcome this by better explaining their expectations to their employees and by having backup plans.

    Builder DNA can overcome their predisposition to control and manipulate by making sure that they don’t surround themselves with “yes” people. But rather they should surround themselves with people who would be willing to warn them when they start to controlling people. But again these people should be advisers and trusted peers, who would know you well enough and are willing to warn you.

    1. Manipulating and controlling others is a choice. It is in their strength zone. However, intentionally diverting their energy to control and manipulate others to coaching and mentoring others would be a more fruitful approach....make this a habit and soon, it will be character.

    Builder DNA can overcome their predisposition to control and manipulate by working on the relationships with employees, associates, and family.
