Behavioural Styles

Overview

Understanding work preferences is a critical component in developing individual, team and organisational performance. The DISC Model (an 80-item questionnaire) is used as a basis for focussing on enhancing understanding of an individual's approaches to work.

 

Learning Outcomes

Based on responses to the questionnaire, the DISC model provides constructive, work-based information outlining an individual's work preferences and the strengths that an individual brings to a team.

 

Work preferences are explored in terms of:

  • How an individual prefers to relate to others
  • How an individual gathers and uses information
  • How an individual makes decisions
  • How an individual organises themselves and others

 

The DISC system highlights an individual's major and related areas of work preferences, including information focused on:

  • Individual Strengths
  • Decision-Making
  • Interpersonal Skills
  • Team-Building
  • Essential information for developing individuals and teams

In addition, Productive and Counter Productive Aspects are identified to enable an individual to develop focused action plans and improve performance.

 

Target Audience

Individuals or teams who would like improve their performance in the workplace.
