Your Leadership ⬖ Management Style & Behaviour Assessment

Natural Style vs. Work Persona

Every manager operates with a natural personal preference and an adaptive working persona. Your working style often changes depending on whether you are handling a smooth project, coaching a colleague, or dealing with an urgent crisis.

This assessment evaluates how you adapt across four key leadership and management approaches.

For the sake of those who might not have had DISC Model training,  it's worth knowing that "D" and "C" behaviours lean towards 'task' management, while "S" and "I" behaviours lean towards 'people' oriented leadership.  The more balance  you demonstrate in your style, the better your outcomes generally are in your role.

• Dominance (D - the Executive Director):
  Direct action, fast decisions, enforcing standards, and taking charge in crises.


• Influence (I - the Strategic Communicator):
  Inspiring people, persuasive communication, building enthusiastic teams, and managing relationships.


• Steadiness (S - the Collaborative Anchor):
  Active listening, supporting team stability, reducing friction, and steady consensus.


• Conscientiousness (C - the Systems Architect):
  Data accuracy, clear documentation, risk management, and quality control.

Guidance Note:  As you complete the 12 scenarios, it's possible that you may feel unsure because two different options might work for you.  Choose the option that you are most likely to use in your daily work environment.  This assessment provides a helpful snapshot of your current 'work' persona,  not a rigid, lifelong diagnosis.
