EVERYTHING DiSC® MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS
How does Everything DiSC Management relate to DiSC®?
Everything DiSC® profiles traditionally provide narrative feedback with a particular area of focus such as interacting with colleagues, selling to clients, or leading a team. Due to the nature of management hierarchy, the focus of Everything DiSC® Management’s feedback must be multidirectional, providing you with not only specific information about working with individuals you manage, but also about being managed by your supervisors. While still aligning with our cornerstone principle that all DiSC® styles are equally valuable, Everything DiSC Management helps you easily navigate otherwise complicated relationships of managing and being managed by people, each with their own behavioral and communication preferences.
Is the Everything DiSC Management assessment valid and reliable?
Yes. In fact, we only publish Everything DiSC products that have surpassed our strict testing standards and have been proven effective through our iterative design process. Everything DiSC Management is one of a number of assessments within the Everything DiSC family of products. This assessment builds on over 40 years of DiSC research and knowledge. Specific information related to validity and reliability is available in the Everything DiSC Research Report and the Everything DiSC Research Manual (in English).
How did you determine the Management Priorities?
First, we used the existing DiSC model research to derive the priorities of managers with different DiSC styles. Next, we collected data to evaluate these hypotheses. From this research, a model of the Everything DiSC Management priorities was developed. Both managers and employees were then asked to rate how important they felt various management tasks were for a manager. The Everything DiSC Management model accurately reflects real-life management environments and is useful for understanding various approaches to management. More information is available in the Everything DiSC Research Report and the Everything DiSC Research Manual (in English).
How do you define management and differentiate it from leadership?
A basic Internet search of management and leadership yields a vast number of results and you will find that there are as many definitions for management and leadership as there are experts in the field. In developing Everything DiSC® Management, we conducted an analysis of experts in the field to identify the broadest commonalities between definitions. From this, we defined management as bringing out the best in the individual people you manage on a one-to-one basis. Leadership, on the other hand, deals more with one-to-many scenarios. Thus, leadership definitions focus on bringing out the best in an organization or a collection of people. As you might imagine, the two have overlapping skill sets; however, each requires unique skills. Everything DiSC® Management focuses on understanding your own management style, directing and delegating others, providing motivating environments, developing others, and working more effectively with your own manager. In each of these areas, managers will learn to be more effective in one-to-one professional relationships.
Why does some of my feedback seem to contradict what I know about my DiSC® style?
There may be times when a person’s report and narrative feedback do not seem consistent with characteristics typical of their DiSC® style. For instance, we know that two people with the D style are not identical. This is because the D style is multidimensional and, therefore, contains correlated but separate elements such as forcefulness, directness, and tough-mindedness. There are times when an individual may demonstrate only two out of three of these characteristics and still be classified as a D style. Unexpected behaviors or priorities outside of the typical characteristics of a DiSC style help reflect the depth of a person’s individual personality. The Everything DiSC Supplement for Facilitators can help you identify these unexpected behaviors and is available for any Everything DiSC profile.
