We're so confident in the new Everything DiSC® Workplace and Everything DiSC Comparison Report that we're asking people to compare the DiSC profile to MBTI®
People who know both MBTI and DiSC agree that both are valuable learning tools. But, according to those experienced with both products, DiSC is the clear choice in three situations. People prefer DiSC when
* Their goal is to get groups or teams working more effectively together
* Their training time is limited and you need people working, not sitting in training
* They want follow-up to ensure the training gets used.
If you get Training magazine you were invited to experience Everything DiSC Workplace (look for a personal code and link on a blow-in card for a free personalized report). If you missed that, use this link to request your personal code and note you were referred by The TEAM Approach.
