DiSC Profile: Personal Leadership Style
Good leaders are often thought to have a specific type of personality. While it does take certain traits to lead effectively, there are many different types of leaders and many different qualities that are required to make them impactful. The DiSC profile report can help you determine which type of leader you are, which can help you identify areas in which you can improve and develop. The Everything DiSC® assessment focuses on identifying the “primary emotions” to help an individual become more self-aware of their emotional responses and behaviors. The DiSC personality types of primary emotions are known as Dominance (D), Influence (i), Steadiness (S), and Conscientiousness (C).
In addition, to the four primary emotions (DiSC), the model breaks down further into eight DiSC scales as follows:
