What is DISC?
DISC is an acronym that stands for four main personality profiles: D – Dominance, I – Influence, S – Steadiness, C – Conscientiousness. We all have these personality traits, however, some are more prominent than others.
The Maxwell DISC Method was designed around the leadership philosophies of the world’s number one leadership expert, John Maxwell. This assessment provides an in-depth analysis with built-in action plan. All DISC Assessment tools have a core foundation of materials. The Maxwell DISC Method provides rich detail related to your leadership style, communication and more.
Why Consider the Maxwell DISC Method?
DISC is a personal assessment tool that can provide insights into your individual personality, how you interact in teams, and how workplace culture impacts your overall work. It can help you understand your coworkers better and thus learn strategies for engagement that will promote positive interactions and productivity. Your personal DISC Assessment Report will uncover which areas are strongest for you as well as show you where these areas are not as prominent.
The Maxwell DISC Assessment will help you to understand yourself and everyone you encounter. When you understand how everyone is motivated differently, communicates differently and views tasks and relationships differently, you will be able to adjust your communication for mutual benefit.
