The 8 Dimensions of Leadership: DiSC Strategies for Becoming a Better Leader (Bk Business)

It is useful book. Nevertheless, the writers draw largely from their experience, rather than research. That is fine, but they could make a clearer separation between research (supported by empirically valid sources) and their own experiences. Sometimes, I was looking for references, and they weren't there. (I want scientific research to support mental models. If something works, I want to know why it works. I have a bias for research. Not everyone shares my passion for research. That's fine and dandy.)I used the eight dimensions to create profiles for eight different leadership styles. These eight styles of leadership cover most leaders, so you can develop strategies for each leadership style. This book dovetails with the insights by Dr Robert Rohm.It is a great read. Perhaps the next edition will include more research material to support the writers' on-the-ground wisdom.

Just finished reading this. It was good and I'm recommending to anyone who wants to be a better leader. It's all about blind spots and improving who we are as leaders. I picked up some great tips and tactics to ensure I was seeing into my blind spots. Some are hard to take, as it should be. It's a challenge to think about and do things that may be completely on the other side of the DiSC circle to ourselves. But it's worth exploring the ideas and the book is written well. Read, not full of fluff and gets to the point for all us D's who read this.

Very insightful, specific to each person, not just generic advice. I was pretty shocked how well I matched one of the profiles. Really easy to read and suck. Gets your reflecting on what qualities YOU bring vs. where you can improve.

Just when you thought you understood DiSC, here's yet another perspective to get even more mileage out of it.The authors have really hit the nail on the head with this one.I do agree with multiple other reviewers - the paperback binding is poor quality, this is going to fall apart once its been read a few more times.

This is a great book that teaches the disc model and helps you understand all the different leadership models. I would recommend to anyone in a position of leadership that has the desire to grow their leadership style and be able to connect more with the people around them.

This book is fantastic. It builds on the DiSC assessment so you will have to have taken that in order for this to be applicable. I liked how it emphasized leadership and the different types. I used the assessment in my own department and it was incredibly insightful. Who doesn't enjoy learning a little bit more about themselves professionally? Definitely recommend.

Perspective is the lens we use to view the world and ourselves. The 8 Dimensions of Leadership provides insightful observations of both where we are and where we need to grow in order to become more effective leaders. The focus is on reflection using DiSC as a basis for focusing our efforts.

This book makes you realize what is going right in your life. Such a great read, was required for a class and I only read a few chapters so far but they were right on. I plan to read the rest in the near future. very well written and helpful in work, family, and school life.
