William Moulton Marston's Model of the Behavioural Expression of Emotions Preview 02:19

American psychologist and writer William Moulton Marston, in his 1928 book Emotions of Normal People introduced the prototype of the DISC profiling technique: a pair of axes producing a set of four interconnected factors. Marston originally called these four factors Dominance, Inducement, Submission and Compliance, though 'Inducement' and 'Submission' now carry the more meaningful modernised names of Influence and Steadiness.

It was during the 1940's that Marston's profiling technique came to prominence, when it was adopted by the U.S. military to help in recruitment during the Second World War. Over the following decades its simplicity and flexibility meant that it became more and more widely used across the world as a way of understanding behaviour.  It is particularly useful in team settings.

The High Dominance Behavioural Style Preview 02:30

High Dominance has a clear idea of their ambitions and goals, as well as the directness and forcefulness to achieve those goals.  It also means that people like this will tend to have a competitive attitude, and they will generally follow their own ideas rather than work cooperatively with others.

This lecture reviews the High Dominance behavioural style with particular reference to team working with some do's and don'ts when working with this style.

This lecture includes a summary booklet of this style for you to download, print off and use for reference.

The High Influence Behavioural Style Preview 03:14

High Influence thrives on the attention and approval of other people, and they're more motivated by praise and appreciation than most other types.  Despite their outgoing attitude, they're often unwilling to risk causing offence, and they'll often avoid possible confrontations. In other words, while High Influence is socially confident, they tend not to be particularly assertive or forceful.

This lecture reviews the High Influence behavioural style with particular reference to team working with some do's and don'ts when working with this style.

This lecture includes a summary booklet of this style for you to download, print off and use for reference.

The High Steadiness Behavioural Style Preview 03:17

This lecture reviews the High Steadiness behavioural style with particular reference to team working with some do's and don'ts when working with this style.

This lecture includes a summary booklet of this style for you to download, print off and use for reference.

The High Compliance Behavioural Style Preview 03:18

High Compliance likes to have a clear idea of their role, and what's expected of them, so they are far more motivated in situations that are clearly regulated and planned. In general, High Compliance is not independent by nature, and will prefer not to be left to make decisions or take actions without the support of others.

This lecture reviews the High Compliance behavioural style with particular reference to team working with some do's and don'ts when working with this style.

This lecture includes a summary booklet of this style for you to download, print off and use for reference.
