More About DISC
DISC is User-friendly DISC is a user-friendly
approach to understanding and analyzing work behavioral styles.
As individuals, we each react slightly different to a particular
set of circumstances. Being able to understand those reactions
and manage them appropriately will have broad and significant
implications in the work environment. DISC is the acronym
for a theory of behavioral management first developed by the
noted psychologist, Dr. William Marston more than 70 years
ago. It is a descriptive system of behavior that serves as
the foundation for the TTI SUCCESS INSIGHTS™ software
program. The DISC name is represented by the four factors
that describe a person's behavior:
- Dominance - how we
approach problems and challenges.
- Influence
- how we interact with and influence others.
- Steadiness - how we
respond to change and to levels of activity.
- Compliance - how we
respond to rules and regulations.
