In episode 83 of "Manage Self, Lead Others" leadership podcast I speak with Lindsay Adams, the Relationships Guy, as we run through a description of each of the 4 DiSC ® Profile quadrants:

 D - Dominant

 I - Influencer,

S - Steady

C - Conscientious

Once we understand the basics of the 4 DiSC types as a leader, we can bring out the best in our people.

As a team leader, if you understand your people, you can deal with them, how they like to treated; you can delegate tasks by matching people’s preferences and predict how they might execute that task.

It's seeing patterns in behaviors and preferences. For example, if you want a task executed that requires lots of data and detail, ask a high “C”; if you just want the bottom line, ask a high “D”.

A high C in our team is likely to revel in doing research; a chance to drill down and find more data in support of a premise.

A high “I” is likely to be an ideas person, able to expand an idea with all the “what ifs”.

A high “D” is able to focus on results, to get things done, who likely sees a deadline and encourages others to focus on achieving that result.

A high “S” is likely to be quietly supportive of everyone in the team.

Behaviors are readily observable, and you can easily see the patterns that positions someone into one of the 4 quadrants of DiSC. Often you can see a combination of a primary and secondary preference.

For a manager, a leader, a team member or salesperson, understanding behaviors is the key to success

The DiSC assessment is one of the world's most popular online assessments, easy to understand, easy to implement.
