The Role of DISC Profiling in Leadership and Team Development
- Rebekah Box
How DISC Profiling Drives Leadership and Team Success
In today’s dynamic workplace, understanding and leveraging individual strengths is critical for leadership and team development. DISC Profiling, a behavioural assessment tool, has been a leading tool used in business for over 70 years. As the tool as continued to evolve and be developed on to suit changing workplaces and environments, it continues to be a game-changer for organisations aiming to foster collaboration and self-awareness among staff and leaders.
At the forefront of this innovation is Team8 People, a leader in using DISC Profiling for performance development and behavioural awareness. As Bo Hanson, Founder and Director of Team8 People, explains, “DISC is a tool for measuring behaviour, not pigeonholing people. It’s about enabling teams to adapt and collaborate more effectively.”
What is DISC Profiling?
DISC categorises behavioural tendencies into four primary types: Dominance (D), Influence (I), Steadiness (S), and Conscientious (C). These categories provide a framework for understanding how individuals communicate, solve problems, and approach tasks or people. By identifying these traits, DISC enables individuals to tailor their communication styles and strategies for maximum effectiveness with those they work with.
Team8 People’s Approach to DISC
Team8 People integrates DISC Profiling into professional, team, and leadership development programs to enhance workplace relationship dynamics and drive performance. The Team8 DISC Profile is a leading tool that provides a comprehensive personalised DISC Profile Report for each individual completing the assessment, along with numerous additional reporting capabilities including Team Dynamic, summary reporting, and 360 Observer Feedback to maximise the value and impact of the tool.

Real-World Impact
The practical applications of DISC Profiling are vast. By fostering adaptability and collaboration, DISC helps teams unlock their full potential by providing another lens to look at ourselves and others. It removes judgment and shifts perspectives, enabling teams to function more cohesively.
With Team8’s guidance, organisations can use DISC to build stronger, more aligned teams, making it an essential tool for modern leadership.
