The fastest way to identify someone’s DiSC style
🏆 Great communicators aren't born. They're built…in the Bring DiSC to Life! Community. 🚀
By what annoys them.
Pet peeves aren’t rarely random. They're a reflection of our very real human needs.
D Style: "Don't waste my time."
Nothing frustrates a D more than:
Meetings with no purpose
People who ramble
Indecision
Waiting for someone who isn't prepared
If you're working with a D, get to the point and come with a recommendation.
i Style: "Don't put me in a box."
i's get irritated by:
Too many rules
Endless procedures
Micromanagement
Being told, "We've always done it this way."
Give them room to contribute, collaborate, and have fun.
S Style: "Don't create unnecessary conflict."
S's dislike:
Public confrontation
Abrupt change
Being ignored
Aggressive or disrespectful behavior
Lead with trust. Explain the why. Show that people matter.
C Style: "Do it right."
Nothing bothers a C more than:
Sloppy work
Half-finished projects
Missing details
"Good enough."
Bring facts. Be prepared. Follow through.
Relationships are mirrors. When someone lacks a trait, it’s usually because we value that trait in ourselves, and vice versa.
The D need autonomy, control, achievement, and
The i need to be heard, social contact and optimism
The S needs harmony, support, and harm avoidance
The C needs understanding, accuracy, and blamelessness
The next time a coworker gets visibly irritated, don't just ask, "What's their problem?"
Ask, "What need wasn’t met?"
That question will tell you far more than the story you’re telling yourself.
