Wouldn&#8217;t it be better to build a team with like-minded people? So a team with people that have only yellow or green DISC styles? The answer is obvious. Within such teams, one is likely to agree quickly. However, the question is: how effective is one? We believe in complementary teams, in which all DISC styles are represented. In this type of team, behavioural traits that are lacking in one person can be complemented by another. The trick is to focus everyone on what he or she is good at and energises. Each DISC style can contribute to a strong team. And each style will do so in his or her own way. Because each style can contribute to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#2177b9\">Conformism &#8211; Blue behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#2177b9\">Conformism measures the extent to which a person conforms to rules and guidelines established by others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pursues the most qualitative solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thoroughly analyses issues or situations in advance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tackles problems thoroughly and systematically<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uses methods that have proven to be successful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works accurately and checks carefully what he or she delivers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoids mistakes and will eliminate risks as much as possible<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acts diplomatically and tactfully<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitors progress and maintains an overview<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#e7282b\">Dominant &#8211; Red behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#e7282b\">Dominance measures how a person responds to problems and challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Goes for challenges and sets ambitious goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sets changes in motion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Approaches problems and solves them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keeps the team focused on the goal<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Doesn&#8217;t procrastinate and does it now<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dares to stick his or her neck out and take risks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Acts quickly and directly<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoys multiple tasks and activities simultaneously<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8bc242\">Stability &#8211; Green behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#8bc242\">Stability measures how a person reacts to changes and tempo changes and how easily a person adapts to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Has genuine consideration for everyone in the team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoys working with others in the team<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carries out what others in the team have come up with<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Works relentlessly until something is finished<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enjoys working for others<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reassures others who are at a loss for words<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Makes an effort to create a stable setting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maintains harmony in the team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#fdca43\">Influence &#8211; Yellow behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#fdca43\">Influence measures how a person influences and convinces others of his or her views or ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Comes up with creative and unconventional ideas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knows how to communicate his or her story enthusiastically<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knows how to convince others to contribute<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creates a positive and fun atmosphere<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensures that successes are celebrated together<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Looks on the bright side of problems<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facing challenges with optimism<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thinks in solutions, not in problems<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\">Want to know more about what exactly DISC analysis measures and what the behavioural styles entail? <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/en\/what-is-disc\/\">Read a detailed explanation here.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A team with like-minded people<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What behaviour would you see if you put together a team containing only &#8216;like-minded&#8217; people?

Many studies show that effective teams consist of people who complement each other. So when putting together a team, take into account the behavioural styles that are already present and see which styles are underrepresented. Precisely these styles can be complementary, which will help you move forward as a team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating a team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>What are the goals to be achieved together, what behaviour does this require from the team? To see what is potentially present within the DISC team, start from the basic style and not the response style. The base style indicates what natural behaviour is there. By making a team profile of the basic styles present, you gain insight into what is already present and who can contribute to the team goals from his or her basic style. You also gain insight into the missing styles and which type you could add to the team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, looking only at someone&#8217;s DISC style would be too short-sighted, as other aspects are also important, such as knowledge, experience and education. But when the hard criteria are met, it certainly pays to look precisely at the missing behavioural styles in the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"DISC team wheel with the DISC team roles based on 4 behavioural styles\" class=\"wp-image-6912\" width=\"374\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/old.discboulevard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/DISC-teamwheel.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building a team with the DISC analysis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Curious about your basic and response style or want to see if your employees are in the right place?
