EverythingDiSC
The DiSC Personality System is the universal language of behavior. Research has shown that behavioral characteristics can be grouped together in four major divisions called personality styles. People with similar personality profile styles tend to exhibit specific behavioral characteristics common to that profile. All people share these four styles in varying degrees of intensity. The acronym DiSC stands for the four personality styles represented by the letters:
(D) Drive
(I) Influence
(S) Steadiness
(C) Compliance

President and Chief Learning Officer
The appropriateness of the app trend is worrisome to me. I wholeheartedly support app usage in training as a supplement to in- person training but not in place of it. My fear is that organization decision makers will look to the app as an efficient, cost savings way to provide training to employees on everything from orientation to customer service to employee engagement and job training. On the surface using a simple mobile device to provide training that can be referenced immediately for initial and remedial training without additional cost to the company is a CFO's dream. However, in a multigenerational workforce with varying degrees of technological knowledge exclusive app training can be a slippery slope.  Continue Reading...
