Attitude Check!
As John C Maxwell said,
"People may HEAR your words, but they feel your ATTITUDE."
This quote rings so true in the DISC world. Many times people use DISC as their tool to assist them in communicating to others, especially those that have a different DISC style. However, sometimes the tool does not work as expected because their attitude is not in check with their words and approach. So the next time, you try to use DISC be sure to check your attitude before your approach.

Ripple Your Leadership with DISC
Has your company incorporated leadership skills from Chris Hutchinson book, Ripple: A field Manual for Leadership That Works?
If not, Kevin Kruse wrote a great article entitled, How to 'Ripple' Your Leadership summarizing Hutchinson's three step process to Ripple Your Leadership.
1. Decide What Matters Most: Identify your values and lead with clarity and empathy around those values.
2. Chart Your Own Course: Establish a clear personal vision for your life with an end goal in mind. Begin working towards that goal everyday.
3. Know Where You're Awesome: Know your strengths and weaknesses to your benefit. If you do not know how to find your strengths and weaknesses, use a DISC profile that will identify them for you.
This is Hutchinson's three step process to Ripple Your Leadership.

Using Personality Test to Hire and Employee Development
Over the Thanksgiving break, an article by Kristen Criswell, came
across my desk entitled, Using
personality Testing to Fill Positions and develop Employee Strenghts which addressed some of the uses of
personality assessments within a tire shop. In this article, Criswell talks
about the using DISC and Myers-Briggs assessments as part of the hiring process
and for employee development.
Resources Unlimited cautions companies on
using Myers-Briggs and DISC assessments as part of the hiring process due to
the recent Target case. That being said, certain DISC assessments may be used
as part of the hiring process and Resources Unlimited would recommend using a
DISC assessments that is researched, nondiscriminatory, validated, and has an
adverse impact study proving these qualities. When a tire shop or any company
uses these DISC assessments as part of the hiring process, they tend to have
great success in retaining their new hires. Regarding Myers-Briggs assessments,
Resources Unlimited would not recommend using this assessment as part of the
hiring process as it is geared toward employee development.
I hope this tire shop can help you understand the benefits of
using personality test within the workplace as DISC assessments have helped
Resources Unlimited improve its team work.
