DISC Styles and Difficult Behavior, Part 3
Visit http://www.DISCTrainingWorkshops.com for more on DISC Behavioral Styles Training with Roger Reece.
One of the biggest personality differences in styles is in the area of pace. This probably causes the most problems in the interactions between 'S's and 'D's. 'D's are fast-paced; they are bottom-line oriented, and sometimes brusque; they want to do things as quickly as possible. 'S's, on the other hand, prefer a slower pace: they want more detail in instructions; they like to spend more time in order to absorb the subtext, to be sure that they deliver what the other person expects. So for an 'S', the rapid pace and forceful demeanor of a 'D' can hit them like a tornado - and by the same token, for the 'D', the extra time and conversation an 'S' demands can be excruciating!
