Why Can't We Just Get Along?

Often because we just don't think and respond in the same way as others. Individuals tend to have favorite ways of resonding and behaving?

Conflict is based on unmet expectations! So when an individual responds to you differently than what you expect, you tend to make them wrong. Why not learn more about how people are wired and then learn to adapt your style to get a better outcome?

See below for some Ideas based on the DiSC Asessment model.

Keep in mind the different behavioral styles of the individuals involved and what would be an acceptable outcome for both. In other words, how do you prepare and achieve a win/win?

D - Needs to win... let them figure out what can be done to right the situation
- Can be very blunt
- Can challenge what you say...so be prepared and stay on topic

i - Wants everyone to be happy
- Does not want to lose their social standing with the group
- Wants everyone to be their friend... share some positive attributes and assure them that "this" can be worked
out

S - Finds conflict very uncomfortable
- Strives for harmony with the group
- Likes time to think things over and reflect on what is said before taking action

C - Remembers the details of the situation so be prepared with facts to back up your accusations
- May be slow to react on what is being said because they are thinking through the situation presented
- May not display any emotions...have a suggested plan on how the situation can be resolved

Practice or think through how you might change your approach!

Are You Dominating Others?

Impact Training & Development specializes in Coach Training, DiSC Assessments, including the Everything DiSC Workplace, Management, Sales Assessments, and the NEW DiSC 363 for Leadership Development.

  

No one likes to admit that they dominate others or conversations!   What about you? 
Have you ever noticed that you dominate or over control situations? 
          

When does your strength of DOMINANCE negatively impact your business relationships?

If you score high on DOMINANCE on the behavioral based DiSC assessment, my guess is that you might damage relationships when you overextend your style.  DO YOU EXHIBIT THE FOLLOWING TENDENCIES?
 Overly aggressive
 Insensitive
 Lack of empathy
 Little social interaction
 Demands instead of asking
 Makes decisions too quickly
 Does not ask others’ opinions

CLUES that you might be Dominating Relationships:
If you talk more than 50% of the time.
If you cut people off when they are "trying" to speak with you.
You don't know anything about the people who work with or for you.
You think you are a great leader, but when you look there is no one following you.

Potential Remedies for experiencing better results:

• Request that you have a 360 assessment. You might like to try the new Everything DiSC 363.
• Ask the opinion of people you respect.
• Observe the non-verbal expressions of those you interrupt.
• Hire a Corporate or Life Coach who can help you develop stronger interpersonal skills.

We are offering the NEW Everything DiSC 363 ($150 Value) to the first 5 people who call 770-449-5350 by October 15th.

Here is what the NEW Everything 363 can do for you and your organization:
