The DiSC Method for Facilitating Interaction and Team Collaboration

Zane Driķīte

DiSC is a leading personal behavioural style evaluation instrument, which is used by more than 1 million people each year to improve work productivity, team collaboration and communication.

The DiSC method allows one to observe and understand the differences in people’s behaviour without judgement and evaluation of what is good and what is bad. It helps in understanding oneself better and adapting one’s behaviour in communication with others – in sales work, management and team collaboration.
