Everything DiSC Work of Leaders®

Program Outline

With one unified model of leadership—vision, alignment, and execution—it focuses on helping leaders understand their own leadership styles and how their tendencies influence their effectiveness in specific leadership situations.

Skills Taught

• Module 1: Introduction to the Work of Leaders: Explores how DiSC styles inform the role of leaders and introduces the eight priorities of the Everything DiSC Leadership Map. 60-70 minutes.
• Module 2: Vision: Examines the defining elements of a vision, the behaviors associated with its three drivers—exploration, boldness, testing assumptions—and challenges learners to discover the advantages and disadvantages of their tendencies in this area. 75-90 minutes.
• Module 3: Alignment: Examines the defining elements of alignment, the behaviors associated with its three drivers—clarity, dialogue, inspiration—and challenges learners to discover the advantages and disadvantages of their tendencies in this area. 80-90 minutes.

• Optional Activity: Everything DiSC Comparison Report: An insightful and robust 10-page research-validated report highlighting the DiSC profiles of any two individuals—even people who have taken different Everything DiSC profiles, such as a Manager and a direct report who completed Everything DiSC Workplace. The report illustrates their similarities and differences, potential roadblocks in working together, and practical tips for improving working relationships between colleagues. A sample Everything DiSC Comparison Report is provided in the Everything DiSC Work of Leaders Facilitator Toolkit.
