Key Points of DISC? None of the styles are better or worse. All styles have strengths and development areas. They all just happen to be different. Our style does not limit what we can accomplish or how successful we can be. It simply predicts how we tend to do things. We can find all of the four styles represented by very successful managers. However, the most successful managers know who they are. They modify their style appropriately with different styles of their people.
