What Are Behaviors?
Behaviors reflect a person’s manner of doing things --- “how” we act. Our behaviors were built from both nature and nurture and research suggests that the most effective people are those who understand themselves --- both their strengths and weaknesses --- so they can develop strategies to meet the demands of their environment.

Behavioral characteristics can be grouped together into four quadrants, or styles, which are referred to as DISC:

•   Dominance – How you respond to problems and challenges
•   Influence – How you influence others to your point of view
•   Steadiness – How you respond to the pace of the environment
•   Compliance – How you respond to rules and procedures set by others

By participating in our new program --- Management Tool for Building a High Performance Team --- you will have the opportunity to take your own DISC assessment and learn the universal language of behaviors.
