Interesting in Work Management Styles

There are a few advantages to working within a large corporation. I’m not just speaking about the discounts and occasional perks like free Cable & Cablemodem. Those are brilliantly good and justify buying a TV that’s slightly larger than some of the men I’ve dated in my lifetime. The training modules and investments in leadership development which are also fascinatingly appreciated. It’s not something that you get access to when you work by yourself or with a mini startup.

My most recent training module involved DISC relationship/communications style evaluation and analysis.

You could consider it a Cosmo personality quiz on steroids; but that still wouldn’t be sufficiently accurate.

There’s two delimiting vectors that define behavioral style.
#1. The perception one has re: how favorable the environment is
#2. The perception one has re: how much CONTROL or POWER one has over that environment.

Without going into too many details and leveraging what I know best — uh… cheesy pop culture references. These btw, are sweeping generalizations.

D => Dragon Lady
I => Pollyanna
S => Sally from “When Harry Met Sally”
C => Casandra …from anything tragic and greek.

Key behavioral delimiters include their work pace, work environmental style, how they are motivated and their security measures and greatest fears.

  • Dominance
  • Influence
  • Steadiness
  • Conscientiousness

Interesting…..very interesting shtuff…

I think I’m a “D”, with some “I” and “C”. So I’m a DIC.

I think I’m an S, yearning to be a D, with occasional moments of I and C.
