Influencing Pace and Priority

People's Styles can be measured in two ways: Pace and Priority.

In the last two weeks we have looked at the dynamics of pace and the dynamics of priority.

• Pace – The speed in which one likes to move.
• People tend to be either active and outgoing (faster-paced) or passive and reserved (slower-paced).
• Priority – The direction in which one likes to move toward.
• People tend to be either task-oriented or people-oriented.
• Each person is a blend of both pace and priority to a greater or lesser degree.
• Combining both pace and priority creates a term we will call “Personality Style”!
• No one style (or combination of styles) is right or wrong – just different!

The combination of the two characteristics pace and priority spells out each styles natural tendencies.

• The combination of Fast-Paced and Task-Oriented is called the “D” style or Dominant Style.
• The “D” style may say,
• “Let’s get it done!”
• The combination of Fast-Paced and People-Oriented is called the “I” style or Influencing Style.
• The “I” style may say,
• “Let’s have some fun.”
• The combination of Slower-Paced and People-Oriented is called the “S” style or Steadiness Style.
• The “S” style may say,
• “Let’s work together.”
• The combination of Slower-Paced and Task-Oriented is called the “C” style or Compliance Style.
• The “C” style may say,
• “Let’s get it right.”
• Notice that each style is a unique combination of both pace and priority.
• Also notice that each of the four combinations has a name that represents that style.
• Dominant – “D”
•  Influencing – “I”
•  Steadiness – “S”
•  Compliance – “C’
• Understanding the four personality styles will increase your influence with others.

By the way no one likes to be labeled or put in a box.  The DISC personality information is not meant to label people, but should allow all of us a common language to speak from or create a better understanding of normal human behavior.

Lastly, please know that you are a unique blend of all four personality styles!  That means you are a combination of the “D I S and C” styles to a lesser or greater extent.

Over the next four weeks we will learn about each style and how to effectively influence them for optimum relationships.

Have a great week,

Sincerely,

Pete Hinojosa
