DISC Enhancing Communication
The Primary “I” Loves it when you:
- Give them opportunities to talk about their ideas, other people, and their emotions
- Assist them in developing ways to transfer talk into action
- Share your ideas and experiences with them
- Recognize them for their accomplishments
- Give them the opportunity to motivate & influence
- Show them that you accept them
- Explain the details but don’t dwell on them
- Communicate with them in a friendly & light manner
But has difficulty understanding when you:
- Do all the talking
- Eliminate their social time
- Ignore their ideas and accomplishments
- Tell them what to do without asking their input
- Give them the “detail” work
