The DiSC assessment is a non-judgmental behavioral tool used for the assessment of people's behavioral differences, preferences and how they interact with their environment. The DiSC Model of Behavior was first proposed by William Moulton Marston, a physiological psychologist with a Ph.D. from Harvard. His 1928 book, Emotions of Normal People, explains his theory on how normal human emotions lead to behavioral differences among groups of people, and how a person's behavior might change over time. When one participates in a DiSC assessment, the goal is to “increase the learning curve” of understanding how the individual perceives and personally interacts with people and tasks. Participants will be asked to complete a series of word-based, prioritization questions that produce a detailed report about their personality and behaviors. The benefit of this tool is that the assessment is not static – you are not one thing and that’s it – the end. Because we live on a planet full of humans, this assessment tools allow you to understand what your natural superpowers are and how your behaviors adapt when “on stage” or stressed. Moreover, in the coaching, a host strategies, tactics and tools are provided to ensure individuals leave with heightened self -awareness as well as the ability to interact, work and team effectively with people of other styles.
360º feedback gathers the opinions of a leader’s supervisors, peers, direct reports, and other significant stakeholders (such as customers, board of directors, etc.) to gather a complete picture of the leader and give a person feedback on their leadership skills. The leader also rates themselves to provide a self/other comparison that builds insight and self-awareness. TalentsSmart’s 360o survey underwent decades of research in its design and validation. The items were developed, validated, and tested over a decade in a host of organizations of various sizes. When a leadership team participates in a 360o survey, they receive constructive feedback on their current skill level on 22 core and adaptive leadership skills. Participants are asked to complete a series of questions that from start to finish should take less than 20-minutes. Unlike other 360o survey tools, the benefit of this leadership assessment is that leaders receive additional developmental resources e.g., e-learning and a cutting-edge goal-tracking system. With these tools, leaders can establish a self-directed leadership improvement plan or a formal professional development leadership improvement plan. Notwithstanding, the initial feedback response does not have to define a leader’s end state, participants can set goals, share their goals from an accountability perspective with others, and monitor/track their progress. Moreover, in coaching/training, this tool provides leaders with a powerful way to bridge the gap between learning and doing.
