The research suggests that one factor of “engaged employees” is having a best friend at work.
While many people have this, far too often we work with team members that just plain get under our skin and we’d choose not to deal with if we didn’t have to. Mc DISC assessments help us to understand natural differences between people. The more we realize that people aren’t doing things just to annoy us, but that is how they get their natural motivational needs met, what provides psychological security to them or what pushes their fear button, the more we can learn to not only accept their behaviors but to value those very differences and work together to achieve more.
No one likes to be involved with work conflicts, and DISC provides a language and process for averting and minimizing conflicts. It also increases our individual self-awareness and helps team members learn how to position themselves for success – on the team, in roles, jobs, and companies that best fit their strengths, interests and styles.
DISC also helps team members learn to adapt and be flexible in their styles so they can manage their behaviors and emotions to be more successful in the workplace. We all have parts of our jobs that call on us to use behaviors that aren’t as comfortable for us.
DISC helps us learn to flex to meet those needs without stressing out. Also, the more we understand our natural behavioral tendencies, the better we can manage our time, knowing when we need to work with others, when we need to work alone, what is going to give us energy and what is going to pull energy away from us.
