New DiSC Profile Coming Soon! Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders
This week our staff attended an Inscape Publishing webinar about Everything DiSC® 363™ for Leaders, the newest DiSC profile in the Everything DiSC Application Library.
We've been working with 360 degree feedback for over 15 years and understand some of the frustrations leaders may have with 360. Open-ended comments can be unfocused, hurtful, unhelpful, and potentially derail the learning process. The data can leave leaders thinking, "Now what?" if it doesn't provide clear explanation or coaching.
Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders offers a new solution that combines the simplicity and power of DiSC with the best components of 360 degree feedback. The report also provides 3 strategies to improve leadership effectiveness that are written to the leader's own DiSC style.
The Everything DiSC 363 report is easy to understand with clear visuals and a conversational narrative style to help interpret and explain the data.
The exclusive CommentSmart feature helps raters give constructive feedback. Raters choose from highly-tested, behavior focused comments that add richness, context, and depth to the feedback. Early users and beta testers commented that the 22+ pages "include all of the core info from a 360 without the snide comments." Everything DiSC 363 offers a "good mix of data and friendly feedback."
If you've been reluctant to implement a 360 feedback program for your leaders, we encourage you to try Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders - arriving later this month!
Check back frequently for updates and visit our website for Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders details (and a NEW white paper "How Everything DiSC 363 for Leaders Fits into Contemporary Leadership Theory").

DiSC Helps with Career Transition
Times are tough. More and more people are facing a layoff, wondering what to do next. I read an article yesterday that advised people to consider it a unique opportunity, to take charge of the situation, figure out what you really want to do, and create your own future.
Roger Wenschlag's book We Hug in the Hallways Here could not have hit the shelves at a better time.
Using the DiSC model and case studies, Wenschlag zeros in on style-based motivators and demotivators that can make or break job success. The book describes each of the 4 DiSC styles in-depth, offers case studies of real people in their favorite jobs, and gives tips and recommendations about the kind of work and work cultures that best fit someone of that style.
Take the DiSC Profile and read We Hug in the Hallways Here to help yourself or someone you know find their next job or career.

It's All About Personality: DiSC Drivers
Communication works only from one member of "us" to another. Communication in organization—and this may be the true lesson of our communication failure and the true measure of our communication need—is not a means of organization. It is the mode of organization. —Peter F. Drucker, 1973
I think as trainers and users of DiSC, we all love to learn more about the tools, including ways they are used and how to most effectively use them. With the release of the new Everything DiSC Application Library, a new DiSC model is introduced. The new circular model is simple and intuitive, but it conveys a great deal of information about a person’s DiSC Profile at a glance.
In light of new knowledge, I want to share a great article with you. It’s called It’s All About Personality: DiSC Drivers.
Do you have any feedback or success stories about ways YOU have used the DiSC Application Library (Everything DiSC Classic, Everything DiSC Management, or Everything DiSC Sales)? If so, I would love to hear from you! Please feel free to post...

New DiSC Profile Helps Managers Bring Out the Best in Every Employee
We're very excited about the latest DiSC training program from Inscape Publishing's "Everything DiSC" series.The Everything DiSC Management Profile provides a 26-page report that helps managers understand themselves, their employees, and their own bosses.
Everything DiSC Management focuses on 5 important areas of management:
- Your DiSC Management Style
- Directing and Delegating
- Motivation
- Developing Others
- Working with YOUR Manager
Clients are raving about the customization options Everything DiSC Management offers.
The profile itself is EPIC-based so you can run it right from your own EPIC Account. This allows you to remove or rearrange pages, print only selected sections, or customize the report title.
For example, you could alter the report cover to say, "XYZ Company Management Report" rather than the default title "Everything DiSC Management."
The Everything DiSC Management Facilitation System includes 6 one-hour modules, fully-scripted facilitation with interactive learning activities, facilitator notes, participant handouts, research information, and engaging video built right into the PowerPoint presentation.

A DiSC Question - I'm Stumped!!
Last week I had a great question about the DiSC Profile, specifically the word version. Here is the DiSC question I received:
When looking at the DiSC report on the page with the graph that shows the tally box scoring, what does the column “N” mean? Here is an example of what I am asking to learn more about:
This DiSC question stumped me! I had never heard it before in my 5 ½ years with Resources Unlimited! After some research and a conversation with the publisher, I had an answer. I decided that it is definitely one to be shared. Here is the response I sent:
In all psychological assessments, the null value is used to “level the playing field” for all of the scales. The values that are null (N) do not get measured by any of the scales. An example of this could be the word “happy.” Let’s say that happy would be an “i” word. Well, just because “unhappy” is the opposite, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is a characteristic of a high “C.” In other words, the word might fit in a “most” category, but not in a “least.” They recommended that you review the research report below. Page 13 was specifically noted…

Has anyone else ever received this DiSC question? If so, how did you respond?

How Can The Online DiSC Classic 2.0 Profile Save You Time?
Have your DiSC participants complete the Online DiSC 2.0 Profile BEFORE your DiSC training or coaching sessions to save valuable time. The DiSC Classic 2.0 is sent out and scored electronically, so you won't need to administer and score a paper assessment during your DiSC session.
Right after you place your DiSC 2.0 order with Resources Unlimited, we'll send you an email(s) containing your access code(s) and link to the DiSC 2.0 response form.
You'll just need to forward one email to each participant. They'll click the link and complete the 28-response profile online in about 10 minutes. The DiSC 2.0 Profile is generated instantly so participants can print out their DiSC Profile, save it on their computer, or forward their DiSC 2.0 to someone else.
If you don't want participants to view their DiSC 2.0 before your DiSC session, you'll want to order an EPIC Account, which lets you print DiSC reports to hand out. EPIC Accounts are so popular with our clients because EPIC is easy to use and gives administrators more control.
