DiSCover Your Leadership Strengths

Dr. Raj Basu — Management faculty in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University or Dr. Matthew Bowler — Director of the MBA Program and Associate Professor of Management in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University

Personality aside, individuals have their styles of responding and adapting to work settings and other people. The best leaders understand why and how people act the way they do. Use the DiSC® model to gain this crucial knowledge. You will discern how to lead successfully by appropriately handling individual behaviors. DiSC® is a widely used self-discovery tool and model of human behavior that people use to understand why and how they and others say and do things based on their style tendencies. Once people understand these behavioral styles, they can gain new and valuable S.O.S. insights—awareness of Self, Others, and Situations they encounter. With these S.O.S. insights, leaders can determine how best to respond and adapt to specific people and situations to work more effectively with individuals and teams. DiSC® focuses on behavior and is a complement to personality assessments such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. The DiSC® four-quadrant model identifies primary emotions and associated behavioral responses: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. DiSC® is not a personality assessment but rather an indication of how people tend to behave in particular situations. In this seminar, you will learn more about your responses to your work settings and gain insight into how you can more effectively lead and work with others. This seminar is sponsored by the Department of Management and the Center for the Future of Work in the Spears School of Business at Oklahoma State University. Participants earn 0.3 continuing education units (CEUs) upon completion of this seminar.
