The DiSC® Behavioral Management System™ First published in his book "The Emotions of Normal People" Dr. William Moulton Marston introduced his theory of behavioral styles that has now become know as DiSC®. Many people have probably experienced one of the many profiles that are often based upon his theory, or a combination of his theory and Jung. But DiSC® is much more than just a profile. It is a comprehensive system that allows people to interact and talk about behaviors in a non-judgmental fashion. Behavioral and personality style inventories and profiles are just simply tools. While we use DiSC® based profiles to help people understand the workings of the DiSC® Model, our goal is to actually have members of the organization learn how to utilize the Model and the tools to enhance performance, communication, customer satisfaction, sales, efficiency on projects and processes, and just about any other activity that the organization is engaged in that involves people interacting with other people, processes, or tasks. If it involves behavior, then it probably involves DiSC®. What
are the DiSC®
Dimensions of Behavior®? DiSC® is a very simple, yet effective way of understanding behavior. It is based upon four dimensions of behavior: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Each of these four dimensions has particular behaviors associated with them, and each of the dimensions exists in all of us. But over time and based upon what has typically worked for us in a particular environment, most of us have typically found that a particular style works better for us and we tend to rely on those behaviors. The problem is, that style may or may not be effective for us to be able to get our work done, or to help others to get their work done. Also, we are working with other people or serving other people, and their style of behaving may be different than our style, which can cause conflicts or misunderstandings. What works for us just may not work for someone else. That doesn’t mean that anyone is wrong, just that we are different.
View the Slide show by clicking on the graphic above DiSC® as a Common Language By utilizing the DiSC® Behavioral Management System™, the organization now has a common language to begin discussing process and performance issues as they relate to people, all in a non-judgmental approach. For many people, DiSC® represents the first time they have ever been exposed to a systematic approach for managing human behavior, either their own or others. It is a system that they can use to build their own process of structured inquiry for solving problems and enhancing performance. The DiSC® Behavioral Management System™ provides the operating instructions for humans that most people have been looking for all of their lives. Now people can understand why they don’t like performing certain tasks required of their job, yet can excel at others. They can understand why co-workers can behave in certain ways that would be uncomfortable for them to behave in the same manner. The DiSC® Behavioral Management System™ now allows people to be able to not just communicate better, but begin to understand each other a little better, as they are now all using the same language; the language of DiSC®. Read about how one organization used DiSC® to create a new culture. View a short PowerPoint Presentation about the basics of the DiSC® Theory.
