Building teams using DISC can bring many benefits. It ensures that everyone is in the right place and can make full use of his or her qualities. You will also gain insight into group dynamics, allowing you to understand each other better. Read all the characteristics, qualities and development points per DISC behavioural style that emerge in a team.
Perhaps another question beforehand. Wouldn’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.

What behaviour would you see if you put together a team containing only ‘like-minded’ people? So a team consisting, for example, people with only red, yellow, green, or blue styles.
The question is whether such teams will be effective. 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.
