DISC is an easy to understand 'language of behavior', now utilized through the world.

 

It simplifies behavioral tendencies into 4 key styles, which each identify distinct approaches to getting things done and the motivation behind them.

 

Most of us tend to have one particular 'go-to' or dominant style, and another that may be a close but secondary style we prefer. Both of these would be styles we can operate in pretty naturally and with little extra effort.

 

Any style that is not our primary or secondary are ones that are also capable of using ... it just may take more thought, focus, and energy to do so.

 

No one style is the best

There is no one style that is better or more successful than another. They are all essential to success in the long haul. You will find highy successful people in all walks of life that utilize each of the styles as their primary style. They all get results, but just in a different manner.

The key is adaptability.
