DISC: The Premier Tool Used in Business

Corporate America today is an ever changing, highly competitive world. In this high stress environment, understanding not only your clients, but your employees and even yourself better is the real key to tapping into success and security. That’s where Your Ultimate Success comes in. By taking an unbiased, positive look at your company on the whole (as well as each employee individually), YUS can lead you into the land of the perfect profit margin. The most effective weapon in YUS’s arsenal is the DISC assessment- a psychological inventory of the members of your team.

The concept of the DISC assessment is not a new one. First developed by psychologist William Marston in the late 1920’s, its benefits to the business world were immediately apparent. By helping to understand a person’s behavioral style and preferences, the DISC assessment made it possible to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses; essentially allowing employers to create a custom tailored workforce. A look at the four areas covered in a DISC assessment reveals how it could help your company today:

DOMINANCE

How do you handle pressure? Do you take control of a project and lead the rest of the way? Or maybe you are the low key, cooperative type. Both behavioral styles are important on a team, but an imbalance can create friction in the workplace, or slowing production rates. Your Ultimate Success will provide a non-judgmental DISC assessment to help your employees capitalize on their individual strengths, leading to a more upbeat, productive work environment.

INFLUENCE

Would you have made a great politician? Do others describe your personality as magnetic? Perhaps you’re more logical and skeptical-you need to be won over by facts and figures. Again, both types of employees are important to have on board. A DISC assessment will help determine where on the spectrum you lie-helping to discern which area of the company you will be the most successful in.

STEADINESS

Does security rank high on your list of priorities? Are you happy with the status quo? Or are you a restless spirit, constantly seeking a new challenge? It takes risk to secure a new account, and a steady, reliable hand to keep it. Let a DISC assessment help you organize your company to maximize effectiveness, and foster an appreciation for different behavior and personality styles.

COMPLIANCE

Are you all about sticking to the rules? Is your desk organized to within an inch of its life? Or would you rather break a rule than adhere to it? Whether you’re a trailblazer or an analyst makes a huge difference in the areas you will excel. A DISC assessment can help you determine which managerial or coaching styles will be most effective for your staff.
