DISC Behavioral Assessment

Being part of a diverse team of nonprofit staff can be a dynamic and rewarding experience. It can also be challenging to work in an environment where a variety of communication styles and expectations about behavior intersect. The key to working successfully as a team is to understand not only your own work style, but also the styles of those around you.

Greenlights can help your team learn to understand and appreciate their behavior styles, using a DISC assessment, so they can modify their communication approaches for better results.

So how does the DISC work? The assessment (which can be taken online in under fifteen minutes) measures four dimensions of behavior, each associated with a behavioral style symbolized by D, I, S, and C:

  • Dominance = How you respond to problems or challenges
  • Influence = How you influence others to your point of view
  • Steadiness = How you respond to the pace of the environment
  • Compliance = How you respond to rules and procedures

Grounded in international research and validation, the DISC can help you and your team identify each team member’s key strengths, value to the organization, and communication styles, and then use that information to improve performance.

Ready to strengthen your team and enhance communication? Let Greenlights incorporate the DISC into your next staff or management team retreat!
