Have you ever been DISC=ed? The DISC Personality Profile is an indispensable tool for my work as business adviser and personal coach. One interesting thing I found out while studying under Dr. Robert Rohm is that most of the world's major corporations use the DISC to form effective teams. In today's fast-paced, global business environment, that's how most of the work gets done - it's assigned to project teams.
Teams, of course, are made up of people, individuals with unique personalities and behavior styles. It's obvious that team members must be able to get along and communicate effectively with one another, with other teams, and with management. But corporate leaders know teamwork goes well beyond just getting along and communicating results. They know that having different personality styles represented on one team is the secret to competitive performance. That secret lies in the synergy of different perspectives and different talents being brought to bear to solve problems and arrive at innovative business solutions. Synergy means that the whole adds up to more than the sum of the parts. Synergy is the magic that happens when teamwork really works!
Now, some of the businesses for whom I'm the adviser are so small, they don't have all four DISC personality types on their company team. That's exactly where going Beyond Networking helps. Those very small businesses create their magic by connecting with other business owners. (Remember, we're not talking about exchanging leads and referrals a' la traditional networking; we're about going beyond that to Connection.)

DISC, usually you'll find that two traits are predominant in you, I love the model and it is VERY accurate in spelling out how to approach and best use the talents of the individuals who partake.
Dominance
Influencing
Steadiness
Compliance
