Great managers can read people. They know that employees have different skills, different concerns and different levels of motivation. Further, they know that if they ignore these diverse needs, there is a greater chance that their employees will waste their energy moving in the wrong direction, get frustrated with a lack of success, or just disengage from a project or team. Consequently, through the support of DiSC®, they’ve learned to adjust their management style to the employee’s style and needs of the situation. This course is designed to help managers recognize the employee’s needs and remove barriers to performance.
