Frankly, each of us sometimes experiences frustration due to the styles of others. We can lose patience with or just not “get” another person. Even in our office, you might hear a comment like, “Can you soften your D style a bit while we discuss the issue?” or “Can you stretch into the C style to take care of those reports?” But we also really love each style and try to learn from each of them.
It’s a common facilitation technique to go around the room and tell each person what you appreciate about them, so we decided to do that with each DiSC® style. These are comments from our own staff about what we love and appreciate about each style. We’ve reversed the order here just to change things up. Our i-style staff member likes that.
