Have you had the experience of someone using their DISC style as an excuse? “Oh I can’t do that because I’m too…..” or “I can’t help it because I’m a high…..?”
One of the benefits of the DISC system compared to some other behavioural systems is that DISC is not a label. Your style is a mix of all 4 styles and you can change your behaviour at any time that you choose.
So if you need to be more assertive at work, raise your ‘D’ or if you want to be more friendly at a networking event, raise your ‘I’.
Similarly there maybe times when you need to lower your style. If you have lots of ‘S’ in your style, you would need to lower it to make decisions quicker. A high ‘C’ person might want to lower their ‘C’ to get a task completed by a deadline.
Next week I’ll give some suggestions as to how you can raise or lower a particular style of behaving.
