Say the hard thing in the way each person can hear it.

No sign-up to use it. What you enter stays in your browser until you unlock the bonus.

Step 1

Spot their style

Think of one person on your team. Tick every behaviour you have seen from them more than once.

Tick the behaviours you recognise and your most likely style appears here.

Step 2

Pick the conversation

No style spotted yet, so one is chosen for you. Change it any time.

Their style

The conversation

Step 3

Your script

Feedback on poor work · Dominance (D)

[Name], straight up: the [job] did not meet the standard. Here is what I need: [the specific fix] by [day]. I know you can do it and I am not going to let this one slide. What do you need from me to get it done?

Replace the words in [square brackets] with the real details. Say it in your own voice and let them respond.

How they tend to hear it. They hear feedback as a test of strength. They respect directness and lose respect for dithering.

Say

  • Here is the result I need and the deadline.
  • How you get there is up to you.
  • What is the fastest fix?

Avoid

  • Long preambles and small talk first
  • Vague asks with no outcome
  • Overruling them in front of others

DISC describes behavioural tendencies, not fixed personality types. People adapt to the situation. Treat the checklist as a prompt to observe, not a diagnosis.

Five open questions for each style, plus meeting tips for running a one-on-one that each style will actually talk in.

Your bonus pack appears on this page as soon as you submit. We also receive a short summary of your result, such as your totals, so any follow-up is useful. See our privacy policy.
