Customer Reviews

Great resource

This book is great. I took the DiSC profiler and been improving the way to deal with daily situations. This is practical in job and in life.

DiSC users reference

This is a great little book both for those new to DiSC and old time users of this tool. Great tips for Managers who want to adapt their management style to better communicate with their employees. Tips on giving feedback, problem solving, delegating etc. Well worth the money.

Interesting reading

The book is short and very good. It basically outlines common different behavioral models and focuses on the best approach to communicate with people belonging to each model profile. Of course it all revolves around your willing to adapt your style when dealing with others, especially if you manage a team. So try to put these suggestions in practise otherwise it remains only an interesting leisure book.
