The Art of Facilitation - Day 3

The Day of Reckoning.... DiSC analysis!

The DiSC is a personality type analysis test.

D = dominance
i = influential
S = steady
C = conscientious

This is a useful tool to help..
- improve awareness and recognition of diversity
- enhance quality
- manage change
- coaching
- build productive teams
- develop effective leadership
- ease frustration and interpersonal conflict
- enhance communication
- resolve/manage conflict
- team development/ building

The two purposes that are most important for my current context are managing change and building and developing productive teams.

It is not only useful to analyse oneself but also the team members on staff. I think this allows us to examine potential conflict from someone elses perspectives. There is a really helpful page in the analysis book which I think I will use to identify the main categories that each staff member falls into. I think this will be helpful for considering different perspectives.
