From the DiSC Training on Monday… (yea, I almost forgot to blog it!)
1) Different = Different. Just say “No” to people who think Different = Wrong.
2) Move past Judging people to Understanding them and Respecting them. This is hard.
3) There are D, i, S, and C people*. D people see themeselves as in power in an unfavorable world. i people (like me) see themselves as in power in a favorable world. S people see the world as favorable, but don’t see themselves as having power. C peeps don’t feel in power AND the world is seen as unfavorable to them.*At any given time, all people can take on the personality of any dimension. Ex: A D can become a S… or, like with me, an i person can become an S person when traveling via airplane.
My addition, 4) Compatibility = Flexibility. People can be compatible with each other (like my rockin’ officemate Anne) if each is willing to be flexible. Duh.
