How your team members react in conflict 

In today’s video we talk about conflict and how different personalities on your team often respond in conflict.  

As a leader, it's your role to be aware of these potential responses and address those that are improper.

Each personality type (we use DISC) responds differently to conflict such as: 

D-Types / Drivers – In conflict may often overpower, be pushy and roll people over; they may shut others down.  However, they do push the team to address problems head-on, which is quite valuable! 

I-Types / The Influencer:  In conflict, I-types can often get dramatic and maybe even gossip, dwell on the past or say "everything's ok".   On the positive side, they do express passion and emotions well. 

S-Types / Steady: They can sometimes gloss over conflict (like an I-type), not speak up for their own needs and avoid conflict.  On the positive side they often pause to listen and are empathetic during conflict.  

C-Type / Conscientious or Compliant: C-types love numbers so they can easily overpower others with logic and facts; to them it's usually all  black and white.  On the positive side they like to keep tense situations objective and help the team stick to the core issues.
