Objective: Review the benefits of assessments for self, the team, hiring and firing. Utilize the DiSC assessment to gain a better understanding of personal tendencies and how they relate to others. Take an introspective look at personal strengths and opportunities for improved performance.

Self-awareness is one of the hallmarks of the most effective leaders. They possess a real understanding of themselves and how their actions impact others in the organization. Do team members walk away from interaction energized and feeling valued, or do they just walk away? Effective leaders know their strengths as well as their weaknesses and capitalize on the former while minimizing the latter.

DiSC assessments provide the foundation for a discussion of assessments and their value to individuals and to organizations. This foundation moves beyond interpersonal effectiveness and addresses the use of assessments in hiring and in coaching. Informative and interactive, the workshop teaches attendees how to use online surveys and assessments effectively to screen and hire those you’re considering, as well as coach those already aboard.

Attendees take the DiSC prior to this session to enable maximum return on the time invested in the classroom. Other readily available assessments are discussed and their use in many aspects of personnel management explained.
