If a person communicates to you according to your behavioural preferences, you are more likely to be receptive and respond positively.
When we appreciate both differences and similarities in people, we are more likely to lay aside ‘wrong’ and ‘right’ labels
DISC is a world-leading diagnostic, which helps people understand themselves and others.
DISC profiling has been used in many organisations to improve communication, teamwork and help solve conflict between people in the workplace.
DISC underpins much of the work that we do at Jenesis Global Consultancy Ltd.
DISC opens the doorway to effective communication allowing you to modify your language and behaviour in any given environment; people respond better to people they like and understand.
Some leaders are bold and daring, they are quick to seize an opportunity and are not afraid to meet challenges head on. This is the “D” style leader… Dominant, Direct and Decisive.
Some leaders are great motivators and can inspire greatness in their followers. They are charismatic speakers and know how to influence others. This is the “I” style leader… Influencing, Inspiring and Interactive.
Some leaders like to lead by example, they are down-to-earth and not afraid of hard work. They appreciate the contributions of their team members and can build strong and loyal teams. This is the “S” style leader… Stable, Strong and Supportive.
Some leaders have studied and worked hard to develop skills and talents and are usually recognised as experts in their fields. They lead by virtue of their ability and extensive knowledge. They are excellent planners, strategists and tacticians. They are contemplative and are rarely caught off guard. This is the “C” style leader… Creative, Competent and in Control.

For years, DISC has successfully helped people understand each other on a more fundamental level.
DISC profiling can identify:
How an individual may set out to achieve their goals
An individual’s decision making strategies
How an individual likes to be communicated with
How an individual prefers to communicate with others
Having a better understanding of an individual’s DISC behavioural model will increase your understanding of why people do what they do
Gaining a better understanding of the four basic DISC styles you will better understand why the four styles get along and why sometimes they don’t
Communication is more than talking and listening. Genuine communication requires a deep understanding of another person’s perspective and the ability to have Courageous Conversations that promote diversity and inclusion within your teams, businesses and organisations
Some teams within businesses and organisations have five generations working alongside each other and will need to harness the motivation of their diverse workforce.
When you take into consideration all our biases, behavioural idiosyncrasies, unspoken emotions, personal agendas, and unshared assumptions, having a deep understanding of another person’s perspective can seem almost impossible.
Different situations call for different leadership styles. Knowing your instinctive leadership style and being aware of what leadership style is required to meet the demands of the situation or environment is essential to be a good leader.
Leadership is a learned skill. Knowing your personality style allows you to capitalise on your leadership strengths and make necessary adjustments when the situation demands it.
Being aware of your style, as well as knowing the styles of the people around you can give you the insight you need to get the most out of your team as a leader.
“In order to be understood, we must first seek to understand” – Steven Covey
