Do you find yourself intimidated when someone asks a question and wants a quick response? Or find it frustrating that someone doesn’t answer your question immediately?

We all have different ways of working; ways that work naturally for us, and ways that we have learnt in order to fit into the group.

But what if we had a better idea of how our colleagues preferred to work, how they prefer to be spoken to, asked questions, or be motivated? What if we had a crib sheet to the different styles that people have of communicating?

The DISC style of Leadership Communication is just that; helping you think about your colleagues & team, how you work with individuals in your team, work with your team as a whole, and lead successfully.

This session is aimed at those who are working in a research group, leading their first team or wanting to focus on how their research colleagues, including supervisors, prefer to work.

We also have a sister session which looks more at how people have a preferred way of working. See “Why does that person prefer to work that way – Leadership and Teamwork” workshop. You can also find out more about team styles and leadership methods in our “Preparing for Leadership- Building teams and producing results” session.
