One of our most entertaining and insightful training opportunities is, by far, completing your DISC assessment and then learning how to improve your communication and leadership skills. Leadership is essential for all Project Managers and Leaders.
In a survey of 400 companies with 100,000 employees, each company reported an average annual loss of $62.4 million due to “inadequate communication to and between employees.” In another study, smaller companies with an average of 100 employees cited that miscommunication and the time taken to clarify communication cost them an average of $420,000 per year. (Source) That’s a lot of money. But a failure to communicate effectively affects more than just the bottom line. For leaders, it impacts foundational elements in their leadership development and capabilities, like trust, confidence, and an ability to inspire people to execute on a shared vision.
If you’re not familiar with DiSC, it is a personality assessment focused on workplace interactions that categorizes individuals into one of four categories labeled with colors: Green, Red, Blue, and Yellow.
