Hello CCA Faculty and Staff,
 

Welcome to Month 2 of your “Accentuate Your DISC” journey! 

As we enter the Christmas season, it’s a beautiful time to shift our focus from understanding ourselves to understanding one another.

Just as Christmas reminds us of God’s love expressed through His Son, our relationships with one another grow stronger when we lead with compassion, patience, and a willingness to see others through their unique lens.

Let’s take it up a notch and look at what each style needs from you.

💥 D (Dominant) needs:

Directness

Clear goals

Respect for their time
Tip: If you’re going to bring a problem, bring a solution too. Ds appreciate action.

💡 I (Influencing) needs:

Enthusiasm

A chance to speak and be heard

Recognition
Tip: Engage them in conversation. They thrive on connection and creativity.

✅ S (Steady) needs:

Consistency

Appreciation for their loyalty

Time to adapt to change
Tip: Don’t rush them. A little reassurance goes a long way.

🔍 C (Conscientious) needs:

Details

Accuracy

Respect for their process
Tip: Give them time to think and space to get it right. Avoid vague directions.

This month’s focus is all about empathy in action. When you honor what others need, you build trust—and that’s what great leadership is built on.

🧠 Emotional Intelligence Moment
Before your next meeting or conversation, try this: Ask yourself, “What might this person need right now based on their DISC style?” It only takes a few seconds and the payoff is deeper connection, better collaboration, and fewer misunderstandings. 

You don’t have to lead like everyone else. You just need to know how everyone else leads.

With appreciation,
