Do you know, the same person to create a Wonder Woman also invented the lie detector test? That's right, Dr. William Marston, who was a Harvard psychologist. He also developed a disc of behavioral assessment way back in the 1920s, more than 100 years ago. And while it may not help you to last know the truth, like Wonder Woman, it can help you build a powerful cohesion team.

So stick around and you make even when your next Tribal Procedure. shoot game with that fun fact. All right. Now, let's talk about why understanding behavior is critical when hiring. I want to share with you that there's plenty of examples of people who succeed in roles that they don't naturally align with, you know, with their behavioral tendencies. Sometimes people, you know, with sheer perseverance or strong why can bridge the gap of a behavioral misalignment with the role that you have them in.

but if you're aiming to build a consistent and predictable business, you're going to see far better results when you hire people whose behaviors align with the demands of the role. Dr. Marleston's disc assessment is a tool that can help you to identify those people. He categorizes behavior into four main types. D for dominance, I for influence, as for steadiness, and C, for conscientiousness. Now, let's go ahead and break these down into, some real-world examples.

Let's start with D for dominance. So I want you to think of someone who is confident, results driven, let's get it done, and love challenges. You know, maybe somebody like me. High D personalities are often in leadership roles. They're quick to act. They thrive under pressure and they embrace risk. But patience?

Not my strong suit and not most high D strong suits either. So if you've ever worked with someone who cuts to the chase and is not shy about speaking their mind, chances are they're a high D. Eye for influence. So these are your enthusiastic people-oriented team members. High-eye personalities. They love collaborations. They love excitement.

And let's face it, they love being the center of attention. If you ever met somebody whose voicemail sounds like they're at a party, or maybe they drive a flashy sports car, or you go into their home and they got selfies all over the walls, you've probably met a high eye. They thrive in lively environments and they can really rally a team like nobody else can.

And then you've got the S's, the steady freddies, the calm, dependable backbones of any organization. High S personalities, they value stability, cooperation, sincerity, family. They avoid conflict.

They seek safety and they remain fiercely loyal. You've got a high S right role in your organization, they're going to stay with you forever. You're going to see a lot of times you're going to see family photos in their workspace or even, you know, you give them a call on their, on their voicemail. You may even hear their kids leaving a voicemail a message alongside them. And then, C, for conscientiousness. These are your detailed oriented perfectionists. High C personalities. They focus on quality, accuracy, and logical reasoning. So if you're looking

for an administrator or somebody financial, this may be your person. Imagine someone leaving you a voicemail or something like this. Hi, this is Daniel Francis Rochon. Don't critique me on the Francis. My dad gave me that name and my mom. Please leave a detailed message. Include your area code, time of call, and spell your name twice for good measure. That's a high seat.

These individuals thrive in structured environments and they fear unnecessary changes. So what you have to understand is matching behaviors to roles. It's not about boxing people in a lot. categories, it's about maximizing their strengths. So, for example, sales roles, they often attract high D or high I personalities or a combination of DIR or ID, while administrators, they're going to typically be more of the high S's and the high Cs. These are just basic behavioral traits to just to give you just sort of like an awareness.

But by understanding these tendencies, you can make powerful hiring decisions that align with your business. needs. So as I mentioned to you, I'm sharing with you very basic behavioral traits. And Dr. Morrison, who did a great job, he was the pioneer of behavioral assessments. He left a lot to the wayside because behavior is so much more complex than those four that I just shared with you. And what I want to do today is just introduce you to this. If you're interested in finding out more, join me on the CPI roleplay.
