DISC Assessment Training For Managers

Used by more than 40 million people worldwide, DISC is a behavioral assessment tool that provides a comprehensive model for understanding your management style and how to effectively manage and interact with others.

DISC is used in a wide variety of settings, including business, education, sales, and coaching to improve productivity, teamwork, and communication and to reduce conflict.

Essentially, DISC identifies patterns of behavior, and can be used to implement solutions for maximizing an individual's strengths and minimizing weaknesses. Among other things, it helps to:

• Enhance communication skills
• Build leadership abilities
• Diffuse interpersonal conflict
• Boost performance and productivity
• Strengthen workplace skills
• Make smart hiring decisions

Why Use DISC

When it comes to managing people, one size does not fit all. As individuals, we all have our own "styles" in how we communicate and interact with others.

However, diverse work styles also can create constant management challenges for today's supervisors. For instance, one employee might be overly bold and assertive while another is introspective and focuses on the details. While they might be great workers independently, there is a clash whenever they have to work together.

Further, without training on recognizing and properly reacting to differing personality styles, your managers and supervisors might get frustrated while trying to motivate a group of diverse personalities. Conversely, management effectiveness, team dynamics, and productivity can be improved dramatically simply by understanding and leveraging the diverse styles of our workers.

The DISC program works because it identifies behavioral differences and creates a better and more productive workplace because managers and employees better understand their own behavioral style and learn to adapt to those with whom they work.

One of the reasons that DISC is such a practical value is that it was specifically designed to address business-related behaviors. DISC isn't a personality test as it doesn't attempt to create a complete psychological profile of the user. Instead, it concentrates on how individuals behave at work. This makes the DISC model very easy to understand and makes the insights truly accessible and applicable to real-life business situations.

Specifically, DISC profiles help you and your team to more effectively understand:

• What motivates you
• The motivational needs of other people
• What causes you stress
• How you solve problems, and how your style affects how you manage time and make decisions
• How you respond to conflict
• How to adapt your own style to get along better with others
• Your natural style for developing others and learn to identify and adapt to the styles of direct reports
• Ways to get constructive and creative group interactions
• Your manager's natural priorities and preferences and explore different approaches to improve effectiveness

This interactive program will:

• Provide a method for recognizing the behavioral styles of others as a way to work effectively and achieve results
• Help you learn about your directing and delegating style and identify the needs of others
• Explore the environments we create and identify the motivational needs of other people
• Provide a system for developing others and a way to identify and adapt to the styles of direct reports
