Are you ready to go a little deeper into the psychology of observable human behavior, otherwise known as "DISC?" Similar to how we went through the 12 Driving Forces we will now be going over each of the 8 Behavioral Segment Definitions that make up the TTI DISC Wheel.

We've just reviewed all 12 Driving Forces and now have a much better understanding of why your team members do the things they do, as well as your own leadership style! But what about DISC?

As we move forward in our lesson series we will go into a similar level of detail into DISC styles as we just did with Driving Forces, so that you can be a healthy leader and grow a healthy team with all the necessary tools at your disposal. Before we dive deeply into a new science, though, I thought it might be helpful to have an overview of the various human sciences we incorporate into our coaching and consulting work with leaders and teams.
