Which Everything DiSC profile is right for your team?

Everything DiSC Workplace is the general profile for everyday working relationships, and it is a good place to start for a team that is new to DiSC. Choose Management for people who manage others, Work of Leaders for leaders, Agile EQ to build emotional intelligence and Sales for salespeople. The right one depends on what you want people to do differently.

Everything DiSC is a workplace assessment published by Wiley. It describes four behavioural styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Conscientiousness. Every version of the profile uses the same four styles and applies them to a different part of working life. Each person completes the assessment online in fifteen to twenty minutes and receives their own report.

Which Everything DiSC profile is for whom?

Who is Everything DiSC Workplace for?

Everything DiSC Workplace is the general profile for everyday working relationships, and it suits everyone in a team. Wiley describes it as a learning experience that helps each participant build more effective relationships at work. People learn to understand themselves and others, and how to adapt to the style of the people they work with.

Workplace is a good starting point if you are not sure which profile to choose. It suits a new team that needs to understand each other quickly and a team where communication styles clash. Our DiSC team workshop page explains how a session runs.

Who is Everything DiSC Management for?

Everything DiSC Management is the version of the profile written for people who manage others. Wiley says it helps anyone in a management role to engage, motivate and develop their people. It covers directing and delegating, motivating people, developing others and working with your own manager.

Many managers lead everyone the way they would like to be led. The Management profile helps them notice that and gives them practical ways to adjust. Our page on DiSC training for managers explains how we run it.

Who is Everything DiSC Work of Leaders for?

Everything DiSC Work of Leaders is the version of the profile written for leaders. Wiley describes it as a clear path for leaders at all levels. It is built around three parts of a leader's work: crafting a vision, building alignment around it and executing it.

Leaders learn how their DiSC style affects each of the three, where their strengths and challenges are and which one area to improve. We use it in our DiSC workshop for leaders, and there is more on style and leadership in our article on which DiSC type is best for leadership.

Who is Everything DiSC Agile EQ for?

Everything DiSC Agile EQ is for people who want to build their emotional intelligence. Wiley says it teaches people to read the emotional and interpersonal needs of a situation and respond accordingly.

People discover the instinctive mindsets that shape their natural responses, and they learn to recognise the moments where it would help to stretch beyond what comes naturally. Agile EQ combines DiSC with emotional intelligence, so people also learn about their DiSC style.

Who is Everything DiSC Sales for?

Everything DiSC Sales is for salespeople. It covers three things: understanding your own sales style, recognising your customers' buying styles and adapting your sales style to each customer.

Some sales teams sell the way they like to buy. The Sales profile helps them recognise each customer's buying style and change their approach to suit it. Our DiSC sales training page explains how we use it with sales teams.

Where does Five Behaviours fit?

Five Behaviours is a separate programme from Wiley, based on Patrick Lencioni's book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. It looks at five things a team needs to work well together: trust, conflict, commitment, accountability and results. Its assessment is powered by Everything DiSC, so people also find out their DiSC style.

An Everything DiSC profile is about one person and their working relationships. Five Behaviours Team Development is about one team as a whole. Wiley designed it for intact teams, meaning groups that work together regularly and share responsibility for results. Choose it when a team that works together every day would like to look at how it builds trust, handles disagreement and holds each other to account.

Can different people in one team take different profiles?

Yes. Every Everything DiSC profile uses the same four styles, so people who have taken different profiles still share one language.

For example, a whole team can complete Workplace and the managers in that team can complete Management. We will recommend the right profile for your goal.

Questions people ask about choosing an Everything DiSC profile

Do managers need a different DiSC profile from their teams?

Managers do not need a different profile, but Everything DiSC Management gives them more that is specific to managing people. Every Everything DiSC profile uses the same four styles, so managers and their teams still share the same language. Inner Leader will recommend the right profile when we know your goal.

Which Everything DiSC profile is best for a leadership team?

Everything DiSC Work of Leaders is the profile written for leadership. It is built around vision, alignment and execution, and it shows each leader how their DiSC style affects all three. Inner Leader uses Work of Leaders in its DiSC sessions for leaders and will recommend the right profile when we know your goal.

Does everyone get access to Catalyst?

Access to Catalyst depends on the Everything DiSC profile you choose. Catalyst is Wiley's online Everything DiSC platform, where people can see their own DiSC style and their colleagues' styles, with practical tips for working well with each person. Wiley's Everything DiSC website marks which profiles are available on Catalyst. Inner Leader will confirm how your chosen profile is delivered when we recommend it.

Can someone who has done Workplace add another profile later?

Yes. Someone who has completed Everything DiSC Workplace can go on to another profile later, such as Management or Agile EQ. Every Everything DiSC profile uses the same four styles, so they build on what they already know. Tell Inner Leader which profile your people have completed and we will recommend the next step.

Does the Everything DiSC profile we choose change the price?

Yes. The cost of DiSC profiles depends on which Everything DiSC profile is selected and how many people take part. Inner Leader's delivery fee does not include DiSC profiles. Our guide to how much DiSC training costs in the UK explains the two parts of the cost.
