EVERYTHING DISC® PRODUCTIVE CONFLICT CONCEPTS
How does Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict help people and groups address conflict?
Everything DiSC® profiles traditionally provide narrative feedback with a particular area of focus such as leading a team, selling to clients, or managing and motivating employees. Because workplace conflict is a major issue that all organizations face, Everything DiSC Productive Conflict focuses on specific information about understanding your own tendencies in conflict, helping you understand why you engage in certain destructive conflict behaviors, and provides you with a solution to engage in more productive conflict behaviors. By staying aligned with our cornerstone principles that all DiSC® styles are equally valuable, Everything DiSC Productive Conflict helps you understand that each of your colleagues have their own behavior tendencies in conflict. By learning about your own behaviors and understanding others’ behavior in conflict, you can use that knowledge to increase the chances of having more productive conflict, which can help lead to better working relationships and better organizational outcomes.
Is the Everything DiSC Productive Conflict 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 Productive Conflict relies on the same assessment as other Everything DiSC applications, so previous validation work is equally relevant now. 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 Productive Conflict Priorities?
Several rounds of data collection preceded the final selection of Productive Conflict priorities. A panel of DiSC subject-matter experts selected an initial set of priorities that was believed to best reflect the approach each style takes to conflict. Labels were chosen that (1) accurately reflected the conceptual model and (2) were useful in communicating the story behind each DiSC style. Over 10,000 participant responses were collected to help refine the labeling and measurement of the priorities. Overall, the research suggests that the Productive Conflict model does accurately reflect real-life work environments and is therefore useful for understanding various approaches to handling conflict. More information is available in the Everything DiSC Research Report and the Everything DiSC Manual (in English).
Will my DiSC® style be different in Productive Conflict than it is in Workplace or other Everything DiSC® applications?
The assessment items used to determine a person’s DiSC® style and dot placement in Everything DiSC® Productive Conflict are exactly the same as the items used for Everything DiSC Workplace®, Management, Sales, or Work of Leaders. And like all Everything DiSC programs, Productive Conflict has product-specific assessment items that measure the priorities. When someone takes the Everything DiSC assessment again, they generally do not answer the questions exactly the same way. The median change that we see is 12 degrees within the circle. So, someone’s dot is bound to move a little, even when the person is taking the same application. We have noticed the biggest shift when someone takes Sales or Productive Conflict. It is possible that when someone knows they are taking a course in one of these two topics, they slightly alter their mindset while answering the questions. That said, this shift is not that much larger than the 12-degree shift we typically see between assessments for a single individual. For this reason, we do not encourage discussion of someone’s “Productive Conflict style” or “Sales style” as different from their global DiSC style.
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.
