TEAM BUILDING

Virtually every CEO understands that developing a quality team is essential to building a great organization. Even the most extraordinarily skilled and hardest working people won't work well if they can't work together. However, those with adequate skills along with a realistic understanding of their individual capabilities and a healthy appreciation for the value of their coworkers can be a winning team.

Use of DiSC in Team Building

DiSC is a powerful and effective tool for enhancing teamwork within an organization. DiSC not only gives team members a good understanding of themselves, it also helps them understand and relate to their coworkers better. When administration of a DiSC instrument is combined with DiSC-based corporate training, the results can be dramatic.

• Leaders gain a better understanding of what motivates their team members. DiSC helps leaders understand how the motivations of various team members differ from their own. With this under-standing, leaders can adapt their management styles to create more positive working relationships.
• Team members learn how to interpret the words and actions of their coworkers. Miscommunication is often at the root of conflict in the workplace. Misunderstandings are inevitable when team members interpret the words or actions of coworkers based on their own motivations. By gaining a clearer understanding of his coworkers' motivations, a team member will often realize that a coworker "didn't mean what I thought she meant."
• Trust is enhanced throughout the organization. Effective leaders are becoming more conscious of the value of trust within their organizations. Speed of Trust author, Stephen H.R. Covey, maintains that high-trust organizations outperform low-trust organizations by a whopping 286%! DiSC-based training builds trust by helping team members see that the contributions of many different personalities are important to fulfilling the goals of the organization. DiSC helps team members see that when they work at creating a high-trust culture, everyone wins!
