A DiSC workshop for leaders and leadership teams
Every leader has a default style, and it shapes how they set direction, bring people with them and get things done. This workshop gives a leader, or a whole leadership team, clear insight into their own style and practical things to work on. One-to-one feedback for a single leader or a session for a leadership team, in person anywhere in the UK or virtually.

Every leader has a default way of leading. It tends to show most clearly when they are under pressure.
A leader's style is experienced differently by each person they lead. What feels efficient to one person can feel abrupt to another, and what feels considerate to one can feel slow to another.
Inner Leader is an Everything DiSC Authorised Partner based in Leamington Spa. Our DiSC workshop for leaders uses Everything DiSC Work of Leaders, the version of the DiSC profile written for people who lead a group or an organisation (Everything DiSC is published by Wiley). It runs as one-to-one feedback for a single leader or as a session for a leadership team of up to 14. We run it in person anywhere in the UK or virtually, from a three-hour virtual session to a full day in person. The delivery of a half-day virtual session for up to 14 people starts from £2,750 +VAT, not including DiSC profiles.
This page is for senior leaders and leadership teams. For line managers and team leaders we use a different profile, Everything DiSC Management, which is covered on our DiSC training for managers page.
What a leader learns from their DiSC profile
A DiSC profile gives a leader an accurate picture of how they tend to lead by default. It shows what they reach for first, what they avoid, what they find draining and how they are likely to be read by people whose style differs from theirs.
No DiSC style makes a better leader than the other three. Each of the four styles produces effective leaders and each one comes under strain in its own way. If that is the question you came with, our article on which DiSC type is best for leadership goes through it style by style.
What helps a leader is knowing their own default and being able to move away from it when the situation asks for something else. That is what the workshop is for.
Everything DiSC Work of Leaders: vision, alignment and execution
Everything DiSC Work of Leaders connects a leader's DiSC style to the work of leading. Wiley, the publisher, describes that work in three parts.
Vision is imagining a future that the organisation can help make a reality. Alignment is getting everyone to understand that vision and commit to it. Execution is making sure the conditions are in place to turn the vision into reality.
Each part has three drivers. For vision they are exploration, boldness and testing assumptions. For alignment they are clarity, dialogue and inspiration. For execution they are momentum, structure and feedback. The profile shows a leader where their style helps them with each one and where they will need to stretch.
Wiley says the model brings together best practices from 300 experts in more than 150 organisations and more than four years of research and development.
One-to-one DiSC feedback for a single leader
A leader can do this on their own. They complete the Everything DiSC Work of Leaders assessment online, then go through their profile in a one-to-one feedback session with us.
It suits a leader who wants clear insight into their own default style.
A DiSC profile is built from the leader's own answers. If you also want to know how the people around a leader experience them, Leadership Impact 360 gathers that through confidential conversations with the five or six people they work with most closely.
A DiSC session for the whole leadership team
In a leadership team session every leader completes their profile beforehand. In the session each person looks at their own style first, then the team looks at everyone's styles together.
The team sees where its styles cluster, where the gaps are and why certain conversations keep going wrong. It gives the team a way to talk about their differences without it becoming personal.
How a DiSC workshop fits into a leadership programme
A DiSC workshop for leaders can stand on its own. Everything DiSC is also one of the steps in our leadership team development programmes, which run from a single intensive day to programmes across 6 to 12 months.
In those programmes Everything DiSC gives the group a shared language for understanding each other. The rest of the work is on how your leaders communicate, where they hold back and how decisions get made.
When organisations book a DiSC workshop for leaders
- Leaders who want clear insight into their own default style
- A new leadership team that needs to understand each other quickly
- A newly appointed leader working out how to lead the team they have joined
- Strong individual leaders who want to work better as one team
- A leadership team where the same voices lead every discussion
- A leadership away day that needs a practical session people will use afterwards
Who the DiSC workshop for leaders is designed for
This work is built for:
- Senior leaders who want clear insight into how they lead
- Leadership teams and executive teams who want to understand each other's styles
- Emerging leaders stepping into a bigger role
- Organisations that want their leaders to share one language for working with people
It is not the right choice for:
- Anyone wanting personality tests for recruitment screening (DiSC is not designed for this)
- Sending out profiles to a leadership team with no session to talk them through
- Leaders who aren't open to feedback or self-reflection
How a DiSC workshop for leaders runs
Each leader completes Everything DiSC Work of Leaders
Every leader completes the assessment online, usually a week or two before the session. It takes fifteen to twenty minutes.
Understand your own DiSC leadership style
Each leader looks at their own profile first: their priorities, what stresses them and how they tend to lead by default.
Vision, alignment and execution
The Work of Leaders profile sets out the three parts of a leader's work and the drivers under each one. Each leader sees where their DiSC style helps them and where they will need to stretch.
Choose what to work on
Wiley's Work of Leaders programme ends with each leader choosing one area to work on and writing a plan for it. In a team session we also anchor the language into the team's own meetings and decisions.
It was extremely valuable to understand how I can influence stakeholders, managing change, and leading cross functional teams.

Questions people ask about DiSC for leaders
What is a DiSC workshop for leaders?
A DiSC workshop for leaders is a session in which a leader or a leadership team completes an Everything DiSC profile, learns how their own style shapes the way they lead and decides what to work on. Inner Leader, an Everything DiSC Authorised Partner, runs it as one-to-one feedback for a single leader or for a leadership team of up to 14, in person anywhere in the UK or virtually.
What is Everything DiSC Work of Leaders?
Everything DiSC Work of Leaders is the version of the Everything DiSC profile written for leaders, published by Wiley. It connects a leader's DiSC style to three parts of leading: vision, alignment and execution. Wiley says the model draws on best practices from 300 experts in more than 150 organisations.
Is there a best DiSC style for a leader?
No single DiSC style is best for leadership, and all four styles produce effective leaders. What matters is that a leader knows their own default and can move away from it when the situation asks for something else. Our article on which DiSC type is best for leadership covers each style in detail.
Can one leader do a DiSC profile on their own?
Yes, a single leader can complete the Everything DiSC Work of Leaders assessment online and then go through their profile in a one-to-one feedback session with Inner Leader. Nobody else in the organisation needs to take part. Our DiSC sessions run for anything from one leader to a leadership team of 14.
How does a DiSC workshop work for an executive team?
For an executive or leadership team, every leader completes their Everything DiSC profile online beforehand, then the team spends a session together. Each person looks at their own style first, then the team looks at everyone's styles side by side and applies it to its own meetings and decisions. Inner Leader runs these sessions for leadership teams of up to 14.
How long does a DiSC workshop for leaders take?
A DiSC workshop for a leadership team runs from a three-hour virtual session to a full day in person. Each leader completes the online assessment a week or two beforehand, which takes fifteen to twenty minutes. Tell us whether you want one-to-one feedback or a team session and we'll confirm the timings.
How is a DiSC profile different from 360 feedback?
A DiSC profile is built from the leader's own answers and describes how they tend to behave, while 360 feedback comes from other people and describes how the leader is experienced. Inner Leader's Leadership Impact 360 gathers that feedback through confidential thirty-minute conversations with five or six of the people the leader works with most closely.
What is the difference between DiSC for leaders and DiSC for managers?
The difference between DiSC for leaders and DiSC for managers is the Everything DiSC profile we use. For senior leaders and leadership teams we use Everything DiSC Work of Leaders, which is about vision, alignment and execution. For line managers we use Everything DiSC Management, which is about directing and delegating, motivating and developing the people they manage. That session is on our DiSC training for managers page.
What does a DiSC workshop for leaders cost?
As a guide, the delivery of a half-day virtual DiSC session for up to 14 people starts from £2,750 +VAT with Inner Leader. The cost of DiSC profiles is not included and depends on the profile chosen. We'll confirm a fixed price for one-to-one feedback or a team session once we know your numbers. Our guide to how much DiSC training costs in the UK has more detail.
