"DISC" is an acronym that describes 4 different communication styles. Here's an overview of each: D—Dominance: People who speak in the dominant communication style tend to control the conversation. They tend to move fast, and they'll want you to give them an answer, so it helps to get right to the point. I—Influence: People who have an influential communication style get excited about things, and they really value your relationships. Before you get down to business, try asking an influencer about their weekend, first. S—Steadiness: Someone who has a steady communication style places an emphasis on cooperation, dependability, and harmony. If you're sharing an idea with a person with this communication style, emphasize how it will benefit the whole team. C—Conscientious: Someone with a conscientious communication style is very detail-oriented. They need every "i" dotted and "t" crossed. Be prepared to give them a lot of information, because they'll want to know all of the facts.
