Hello world!

When you become familiar with your own DISC profile and those of your colleagues, you will be able to
modify your actions and behavior to achieve better results.
What I need to remember about my D Style and work-related preferences:
• I prefer a hands-off manager.
• I like to be in charge of projects.
• I enjoy a fast-paced work environment.
What I need to keep in mind about my communication style:
• I prefer to be direct and to the point.
• I like to get to the point quickly.
• I’m not afraid to ask tough questions.
I should also remember these preferences when working with other people who show a strong Dominance
(D) preference. Keep in mind that while two or more D-style people can feed off of each other’s energy and
are able to get lots of work done fast, I should also be aware that conflicts can escalate quickly and proj-
ects can take off before the details have been thought through.
When I work with or communicate with colleagues who have a strong Influence (I) preference, I need to
remember:
• Connect with them on a personal level before getting to the point.
• Their social, outgoing demeanor will balance my sometime abrasive one.
• Their organizational skills will be important for the projects we work on together.
When I work with or communicate with colleagues who have a strong Steadiness (S) preference, I need to
remember:
• Tone it down! Bring all my gentleness to the conversation.
• They care about our colleague’s feeling more than I ever will.
• When working on a project, they can be relied upon.
When I work with or communicate with colleagues who have a strong Conscientiousness (C) preference, I
need to remember:
• Site the facts, not my opinion.
• They prioritize accuracy over speed.
• When planning a project, they will pay attention to the details.
