Built To Lead Wired To Connect
Four people walk out of a meeting. One leaves energized, two leave frustrated, but for completely different reasons, and the fourth is not convinced anything was decided at all. Their manager, meanwhile, is lost.
How can four people sit in the same meeting and leave with four different versions of what just happened?
For decades individuals around the world have used the DISC assessment to understand their own temperament: Dominant, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. But success in leadership isn’t just about understanding your temperament, it’s also about applying knowledge about yourself and your people to mobilize the team toward a common mission.
Using the Maxwell Method of DISC, Built to Lead, Wired to Connect, reframes the four styles from a leadership perspective, unpacking what it takes to lead, work alongside, or even follow a Dominant, Influencing, Steady, or Conscientious colleague.
Utilizing real stories and examples from Maxwell Leadership Certified Team members, this book will uncover the hidden perspectives holding back your leadership and stifling your effectiveness. Before long you’ll stop asking why everyone is so different from you and start seeing how you can leverage your people’s differing perspectives into your team’s greatest strength.
Written for leaders, with leaders. The stories in this book were contributed by Maxwell Leadership Certified Team Members who facilitate DISC training in organizations around the world. Their work on the front lines made this book possible.
