Working with others and communicating effectively are rarely taught but always needed.
It’s all about people.
If you want to be an effective manager or a productive professional, you’ve got to be willing to change your behavior when working with people different than you.
There are many factors that can influence the effectiveness and performance of a team, but the team members’ personalities will clearly be among the most important of these. If we create a DISC profile for every member of a team, then it becomes possible to model the workings of that team, and to anticipate the ways the team will operate.
Indeed, we’re not limited to existing teams: it’s just as possible to combine members for a potential team, and experiment with different combinations to find the optimum group. Discus facilitates all this with an easy-to-use team management system that lets you model and adjust any combination of profiles, and immediately view the results.
Team Profiling and Reporting
At the heart of the MC360 team assessment is its Team Profile, which draws in all the factors of the team’s members to create a single graphic describing the team as a whole. This team profile follows the familiar four-factor layout of a conventional McDISC profile, but the factors themselves are different, using terms like Direction and Participation to measure the processes at work within the team.
MC360 can compose a detailed and extensive report about the team and its workings. That team report includes an overview of the team as a whole, with keynotes and comments on its structure, but it also goes on to explore a wide array of other aspects of the team.
Understanding the roles at work within a team has always been a crucial part of team assessment, and MC360 includes this aspect in its report too. To do this, MC360 draws a set of twenty-seven possible roles specifically designed to be compatible with members’ DISC profiles. This approach can categorise members into roles such as Brainstormer, Consultant, Explorer, or any of many other types, each with a clear definition and explanation.
Taken together, all these features and reporting options make Discus indispensable in planning or managing the operation of a team.
MC360 makes it easy to set up a team, allowing you to define existing groups or model potential combinations of personalities. You can check the MC360 team report at any time to review the ways that any team will work together.
