Getting More Out of DISC: The Continuum Approach

Culture by Design

“The next level of greatness depends on the quality of the culture, which depends on the quality of the relationships, which depends on the quality of the conversation. Everything happens through conversations.”  Exploring your team's behaviors with intentionality requires the right tools and the right kind of leader. In the latest episode of “Working Progress”, Dr. Andria Salvá, an industrial-organizational psychologist and executive coach, shares how strong cultures are built intentionally through consistent communication, trust, accountability, feedback, and leadership modeling the behaviors they want to see.

Tools for the Future: Rethinking Leadership in the Age of AI

In this episode of Working Progress, we explore what it means to equip leaders with “tools for the future” in an AI-driven world. TTI Master Distributor for Australia and New Zealand Trevor O’Sullivan dives into how emerging technologies can enhance productivity, personalization, and decision-making without compromising the human connection at the heart of effective leadership. O’Sullivan discusses rethinking AI as a collaborative teammate rather than a competitor, redesigning workflows instead of simply layering in new tools, and fostering a culture of experimentation, continuous learning, and trust. But while AI can augment performance and unlock efficiencies, great leadership still depends on intentionality, adaptability, and keeping people at the center of every decision.

Getting More Out of DISC: The Continuum Approach

Edouard Levit, retired TTI Master Distributor, delves into the evolution of the DISC continuum, a new model that transforms the vertical DISC graph into an expanded behavioral analysis examining eight elements of DISC rather than the traditional four.  Levit explains that eliminating ‘low’ scores provides a more complete and positive picture of behavior. Dig into new possibilities for individuals and business leaders, painting a fuller, more colorful picture than the old DISC model. These insights can transform communication, conflict resolution, and connection.
