Often managers feel they are successful if they give directions and everyone follows - obediently. This is a false premise of leadership. Read my post on Lincoln's Team of Rivals, make your guesses of their personality types, submit your guesses and I'll send you the educated synopses for your use as you manage your team of "rivals." The point is this: When people with differing opinions are listened to, the team experiences greater cooperation which increases problem solving and innovation in products and services.

As an intelligent and capable professional, have you ever wondered why your career continues to grow while certain relationships remain difficult?

You know how to solve problems, think strategically, and make sound decisions. Yet despite your professional success, you may still find yourself repeating the same frustrating interpersonal patterns with certain people on your team.

That can feel confusing.

The reality is that relationship challenges do not always respond to logic, efficiency, or problem-solving skills. Many communication struggles are rooted in emotional reactions, personality differences, and habitual interaction patterns.

When managers combine the knowledge of the DISC (behavioral style) model with EQ (Emotional Intelligence), they get a leg-up on other managers. The combination of these two sciences gives managers both the map of the behaviors they can observe and the ability to respond wisely to those behaviors.

The combination of DISC and EQ feels magical because it transforms everyday interactions with employees.

The DISC shows behavioral tendencies – Dominance, Interactive, Steadiness or Compliance. Understanding these categories, managers learn to motivate individually.

High Dominant employees are motivat4ed by results and autonomy.

High Interactive employees want recognition and an optimistic environment.

High Steady individuals crave stability and appreciation.

High Conscientious individuals need accuracy and crystal clear expectations.

Knowing the needs of individuals, managers can deliver motivation in a way that resonates emotionally with each type.

Using their emotional intelligence, managers also learn to Pause, Think, and then Act versus blurting out the first thing that comes into their head.

Learn more about applying DISC principles and EQ philosophies to replace misunderstandings and conflict with inspirational vision and guidance to push your team forward.

You’ll enter an elite circle of managers in your organization.
