About DISC Method

In the course of our life we develop a behavioral style as a strategy of junction with the surrounding environment. This strategy appears to us justified and appropriate, whereas for others it may come across as counter-productive. However, it is important to understand that we often do not go beyond the framework of our Natural Style even when it is not beneficial for us. This may be explained by the fact that we perceive the alteration of the conventional mindset and dominants to be more challenging.

It is interesting that the change of one’s Natural Style is connected with the reconstruction of one’s inner self and the establishment of new neural connections in the brain. This change is possible, but it is often related to transforming events in the life of an individual. The pace with which this change takes place depends on the pace with which these transforming events affect us — sometimes slowly and sometimes in the blink of an eye.

Temporary adaptation of behavior may be the key to complicated life situations.

The widening of self-consciousness, understanding of one’s strengths and weaknesses, realization of the peculiarities of one’s behavioral style opens to us astonishing perspectives for self-development and refining our communicative skills.

Each of us prefers it when other people address us using the appropriate from our viewpoint manner of communication, in other words speak «our» language.

The research shows that the unique communicative style of every individual stems from the characteristic of him/her style of behavior.

If in the course of communication we choose the right tone harmonious to our partner’s behavioral style, then he or she opens to us his or her «communicative door». This gives a chance for positive reciprocal communication. In most cases people tend to act and react in accordance with their Natural (intrinsic) Style of behavior, however, there is a way to develop the ability for conscious behavioral adaptation.

ПIn practice this information helped to create the ASDI ^® System of communicative preferences of people, which became a powerful and popular on the market HR-tool.

We have to keep in mind that almost any communication requires us to adapt, i.e. change the natural to us way of behavior. Even if conversation partners coincide in terms of their views and preferences, at the moment of the conversation they may find themselves in counter-phases, i.e. in the states of excitement or on the contrary slowdown, invigoration or tiredness. Let alone the interaction between totally different people! Conscious adaptation is vital!

Within the framework of DISC Method 80% of all professional competences fall under the category of the behavioral ones.

Behavior is a complex set of competences partly developed in the course of our lives and partly inherited. From the evolutionary point of view this set of competences helps the human race to survive as a species. Therefore, the survival competences are much often related to Soft Skills, rather than Hard Skills.

It is noteworthy that such characteristics as aptitude for information analysis, ability to convince, attentiveness to details are part of the innate behavioral style rather than skills developed consciously in the course of our lives.

Therefore, we claim that strictly professional competences are important but not crucial. Just think about it, 80% of your work performance both efficient and inefficient consists of your behavior.

Quite often behavioral skills turn out to be more important than actual professional skills. Most people can master new technical skills, or the so-called Hard Skills, whereas behavioral competences (Soft Skills) remain off screen. Why?

The answer is easy. We do not realize our style of behavior.

Only conscious voluntary adaptation of behavior depending on various tasks and communicative situations may be considered an instrument of efficiency.

The core of the DISC Assessment System are DISC Graphs. The analysis of Graphs provides an abundance of detailed information on a certain individual, on his/her behavior, preferences, motivations, dispositions, limitations and strengths.

ВQuite complicated calculations and interpretations of DISC Styles are presented by the ASDI in a form of PDF Reports accessible to people without special training.

Behavior Style Reports may be compared to mobile phones. Just recently we did not even think of their existence, and now we cannot imagine life without them. The INSUNRISE Tools measure over 200 competences and present the assessment data in a form of 40 themed chapters, which include development plan, interview questions, description of mask (Adaptive) style of behavior
See the list and contents of available themed chapters.

The INSUNRISE Reports give you the key to exhaustive information, which helps you make informed decisions.

Executives gain an irreplaceable tool, which they quickly get used to in everyday work.

Leader Opportunities

Here in INSUNRISE we are well aware that leaders may possess very diverse experience, which makes them stand out of the crowd. But the key thing here is the level of their self-motivation, ability to get engaged, provide innovative operational decisions, and create an environment where everyone can succeed.

The knowledge of behavior styles is a powerful instrument that makes it possible not only to improve understanding and interaction between employees and their executives, but also boost individual development of people, who decided to use the DISC INSUNRISE Assessment System ^® .

Executive employees get an opportunity to lead their teams consciously rather than intuitively, choosing the best strategy of behavior suiting their subordinate workers. Quite often this is the reason for company’s success or failure.
