D.I.S.C. Consulting
Unlock the science of human behavior. Transform how your team communicates, collaborates, and performs.
The Language of Human Behavior
D.I.S.C. is a proven behavioral assessment tool that measures four primary personality dimensions: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness. Understanding your style — and the styles of those around you — transforms how you communicate, resolve conflict, and lead.
As a Certified D.I.S.C. Consultant, J. Lamont Harris doesn't just administer assessments — he facilitates deep, actionable debriefs that create lasting behavioral change for individuals and entire organizations.
Understanding the D.I.S.C. Model
D-styles are driven by results. They are direct, decisive, and thrive on challenge. They lead with urgency and focus. At their best, they are powerful agents of change.
I-styles lead through relationships and inspiration. They are optimistic, expressive, and energizing to be around. Their greatest strength is motivating others to action.
S-styles are the heart of any team. They value loyalty, consistency, and harmony. They are trusted listeners, steady under pressure, and deeply committed collaborators.
C-styles are driven by accuracy and excellence. They ask the right questions, analyze deeply, and produce work of exceptional quality. They ensure the details never derail the vision.
