Using the DISC psychometric tool for better communication on teams.
Workplace conflict isn’t necessarily a bad thing, and depending on how it’s interpreted and dealt with it can lead to growth and greater trust on teams.
A psychometric tool such as “DISC” can really help to understand how you and others view conflict. Let’s say one team member is frustrated by the “slowness” of another, and that team member feels pressured by the “unreasonable expectations” of their peer – it could be viewed as conflict in the making.
But if you understand your own preferred DISC communication and energy management style, as well as that of your team member you can learn to better communicate your need for boundaries or reassess the urgency of high expectations, depending on the situation.
That way, we honour our needs and preferences, along with the needs and preferences of others, thereby paving the way towards greater transparency and trust.
