Everything DiSC® - Interaction Between Styles: (C)onscientious with (C)onscientious

As a C (Conscientious) style, you thrive on ensuring accuracy, maintaining stability, and challenging assumptions.  The C style is motivated by opportunities to use expertise or gain knowledge combined with attention to quality. 

The C observes others with the C style as:

  • Logical
  • Systematic
  • Reliable
  • Analytical

As a C, suppose you work with a C.  People with the C style would often rather focus on facts than feelings, and this might affect the way you relate to one another.  They probably appreciate that you also tend to stay on task and leave personal matters out of the discussion.  Furthermore, because you both focus on logic more than relationships (and neither of you is likely to push for more openness), communication between you will probably be more restricted and polite.

DiSC - Interaction Between Styles - C (Conscientious) with D (Dominant)

DiSC - Interaction Between Styles  -  C (Conscientious) with D (Dominant)
The original DiSC model from Wiley Publishing continues to be a favorite among professionals. The Everything DiSC® model looks deeper and broader into your results and presents you with more information than ever before.
In today’s blog, we look at someone with the primary style of C (Conscientious) interacting with an individual whose primary style is D (Dominant).

As a C (Conscientious) style, you thrive on ensuring accuracy, maintaining stability, and challenging assumptions. The C style is motivated by opportunities to use expertise or gain knowledge combined with attention to quality. To you, others with the D (Dominant) style may appear:
·        Self-confident
·        Competitive
·        Direct
·        Forceful
·        Risk-taking
The D is motivated by power & authority, competition, winning, and success. NOTE: We see from the overlaid PACE & PRIORITY grid above, the D has a faster & more outspoken PACE versus the cautious & reflective PACE of the C. However, the C and the D SHARE a questioning & skeptical PRIORITY. This might help you visualize (and be open to) the similarities and differences between the C and the D and what increased awareness might be helpful for successful interactions. 

Get a good understanding of inclination and proximity and how this enhances styles.
