with three personalized
strategies for improving
leadership effectiveness.
The Model
To be a successful leader…
 All eight approaches contribute to leadership
success
 While you don’t need to excel in every area, you
need at least some level of competency in each
to be a great leader
 Leaders are most likely to have strengths in
areas that reflect their own styles
 Understanding yourself better is the first step to
becoming more effective when leading others

Work of Leaders
Introduction to Work of Leaders
How does leadership connect to DiSC®?
DiSC is not a predictor of whether you can
or can’t do the steps identified in the work of
leaders
DiSC does helps you understand how
much energy will be required in each step
Introduction to Work of Leaders
How is this different from other DiSC® profiles?
Your personalized profile focuses on
developing preferred behaviors that are based
on best practices
Understanding this helps you stretch into a
preferred behavior when the situation calls for it
Based on research, some behaviors are known to
be more effective over others in a given context
