Leadership Self-Study Guide

This report is designed for a leader to use themselves to learn more about their leadership style, how to adapt to achieve successful interactions, and to enable them to develop some of the key components required for being a good leader. It can be worked through by a leader on their own or with a coach or facilitator. Ideal for Australian leaders seeking professional development.

Which DISC Leadership Profile Suits Management Roles Best?

There is no single “best” DISC profile for a leadership or managerial role — different styles are required in different contexts. A successful leader is someone with strong self-awareness, who understands their natural DISC leadership style and organisational culture, and who can adapt their approach to manage their team and collaborate more effectively.

The Extended DISC® profiling tools are specifically designed to help leaders develop this level of knowledge and insight. This includes learning how to ‘read’ the behavioural styles of others to optimise working relationships — recognising what employees need from you — and driving stronger outcomes.
