  7. STYLE - High D - Problem Solver (Quick) I S C High Intensity = Problem Solve NOW! (FYI… May rush into decision making.) Energy Line = Determines Preference in Asserting. Low Intensity = Process First, then Solve Problem Strong “D” – your example?

  8. STYLE - Low D – Problem Solver (Cautious) I S C • Thinks before deciding on a solution • Prefers to reflect before selecting a conlusion. • Priority is to first gather information, then determine best options. • Can develop SKILL to make quick decisions if needed. High Intensity = Problem Solve Now Energy Line = Determines Preference in Asserting. Low Intensity = Process First, then Solve Problem

  9. STYLE - High I – People (Expressive) High Intensity = Gets energized around people (FYI … Enthusiasm can overpower.) D S C Energy Line = Determines preference in Influencing. Low Intensity = Prefers Calm Interactions Strong “I” - your example ?

  10. STYLE - Low I – People ( Reserved) D S C • Prefers to be behind the scenes, not center stage. • Approaches interactions in a more reserved manner. • More apt to observe before engaging in conversation with someone new. • Can learn SKILL to be outspoken, speak in front of groups. High Intensity = Get energized around people Energy Line = Determines preference in Influencing. Low Intensity = Prefers calm interactions

  11. D I C Low Intensity = Spontaneous STYLE - High S – Plan (Methodical) High Intensity = Orderly plans. Supportive. (Fyi … May want to keep Things status quo.) Energy Line = Determines preference In Planning. Strong “S” - your example?

  12. STYLE - Low S – Plan (Spontaneous) D I C High Intensity = Orderly plans. Supportive. • May have a plan and then quickly changes to a whole new approach. • If project is not fun or exciting, may generate new strategies to get themselves motivated. • Prefers others do the planning. • Can develop SKILL to be organized and follow timelines.

STYLE - Low C – Procedures ( Sees Possibilities) D I S • Changes the rules if they don’t seem to fit the situation. • Independent. • Has a “Can Do” attitude. • Results don’t always have to be 100%. High Intensity = Analyzes, prefers procedures. Energy Line = Determines preference to doing details, Low Intensity = Big Picture. Conceptual. • Can learn the SKILL of doing accurate paperwork.

  15. Graph II - Participants

  16. Based on Graph II - Overview of Styles Participants 16

  17. Graphs I & II - Similar Adapting Style Graph I Natural Style Graph II • If both Adapting Style & Natural Style are similar: • You tend to use same behavioral traits across environments. • Work feels inline with how you would like to be communicating. = Page 5 of your report

  20. Comparing DISC Graph II with I Comparing Graph II “Real You” with Graph I “Snapshot of 1 Day at Work” 20

  21. Start with Graph II Start with Graph II and yellow marker. Example: D is a little below Energy Line. Worksheet: Under “D”, the word “Calculating” is in similar location. 21

  22. Continue process with I, S, C Example: I is at top of Graph II. “Animated”is yellow. S is in middle of 5. “Patient”is yellow. C is below the 2. “Arbitrary” is yellow. Then connect yellow. 22

  23. Now, do process with Graph I with different color marker D towards top of 2. “Indirect”is blue. I a little below top of 6. “Inspiring”is blue. S is bottom of 1. “Risk-taker” is blue. C is bottom of 1. “Big-Picture” is blue. 23

  24. Graph Gap Analysis – Provides Insights Instructions – Example: Start with Graph II, yellow under D. D is at “Calculating.” On the Graph I, blue under D. D is at “Indirect.” Count words in between,with yellow as benchmark. Example: Blue word is 3 words below Yellow word. Write down “3” at bottom of page- Next to “D Goes Down.” 24
