During this months episode, Jeremy breaks down the DISC personality assessment and why it's important for leaders to not only know themselves but to know the people they lead as well.  As John Maxwell states, “You must know yourself in order to grow yourself.”

Jeremy guides us through how some people are forceful, direct, and strong-willed, how some people are optimistic, friendly, and talkative, how others are steady, patient, loyal, and practical, while the final group is precise, sensitive, and analytical.

He wraps up with some solid "Do's and Do Not's" for communicating with each personality style.
