How does emotional intelligence work with DiSC?
The Four Styles of DiSC
(D) – Dominance – these individuals are natural leaders. They are great at being direct and firm. Their emotional intelligence helps them project confidence, persuade others and they’re good at speaking up for themselves.
(i) – Influence – these individuals are outgoing and enthusiastic. Their emotional intelligence makes them naturals at making connections with other people. They can tap into the energy of the room and can see how others are feeling.
(S) – Steadiness – these individuals are even-tempered and accommodating. Their emotional intelligence makes them empathic, and they can understand where other people are coming from. They are calm and flexible which helps keep conversations collaborative and harmonious.
(C) – Conscientiousness – these individuals are more reserved and analytical. Their emotional intelligence strengths allow them to take a step back, separate facts and from their feelings, and show restraint, especially in tension situations.
We’re all a combination of DiSC styles, but one or two styles may be more dominate than another. This means that certain behaviors may come more naturally to us. But what about when we have to use a skill that doesn’t come as naturally, or we need to reach across the DiSC chart to navigate a situation? My Everything DiSC® Agile EQ can help individuals understand their strengths and offer guidance where skills can be improved. The system helps us discover our natural tendencies but goes a step further to help us recognize when we might need to reach beyond our skills and comfort zone. Then we can use those resources to act and adapt to situations when what’s instinctive for us isn’t enough. Being flexible and agile allows us respond to various situations with the best approach and not what comes easiest.
