What is the DISC-Method?
DISC is an objective way of mapping a person's natural and adapted behavioural profile. The model shows how you behave, i.e. how you act. But also how you communicate with others. DISC analysis measures the following preferred behavioural styles
- How you deal with problems and challenges (D from Dominant);
- How you manage to get others to agree with you (I from Influence);
- How you deal with change and pace (S from Stability);
- How you deal with established rules and procedures (C of Conformism).
There is no single preferred style: in practice there will always be a mixture of styles. How these styles relate to each other can provide important insights for the coachee or employee. Once you have an understanding of these behaviours, you can adjust them as necessary to be more effective.
