Styles

One element of internal energy is a person's behavior Style. In Change at the Core, you can read about the four primary styles: Driving, Influencing, Steady, Careful.

To gauge styles, we use the DISC, a well-regarded behavioral assessment. This instrument measures a person's energy patterns, enabling us to correlate energy boosters and energy drainers with an individual’s work activities. By leveraging the energy of individuals across the team, we can dramatically increase efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.

DISC is administered online and generates instantaneous narrative reports supported by easy-to-read graphs. Over the last five years, DISC has become the behavior instrument of choice by organizations around the world, because of its business rather than clinical orientation, language and narrative. It is particularly effective when applied to team development, communication, and business development.

Passions

Another element of internal energy is a person's Passions. What is it that motivates someone to take action? What kinds of opportunities or situations attract them? Repel them? Which ones are they indifferent to?

To gauge passions, we use The Workplace Motivators assessment. The six categories of workplace motivators explain what drives behavior, both of individuals and organizations. By identifying the values and drives of individuals, teams, and organizations, this tool can:

• reduce conflicts
• increase talent retention
• improve efficiency, effectiveness and productivity
• energize any group working together toward common goals.
