MY STYLE OF BEHAVIOR - DISA MODEL

According to the DISA model, which stands for Dominance, Initiative, Steady, and
Analyzing, my style of behavior or personality is more towards Dominant than the other three
styles of behavior. It means that I am motivated to overcome challenges and achieve objectives,
prefer direct responses, a variety of tasks, and work independently; it is basically that I like to set
my own challenges, I like to be my own boss rather than have a boss, I already know what I
want, and I strive for it.
As a person who has the dominant style of behavior, my strengths are that I am quick at
making decisions, I try to take on challenges, whenever there is a problem, I tackle and solve that
problem right away, if there is a situation where a leader needs to arise I take the lead, and when
things need to get moving I initiate things and get them moving straight away without wasting
any time, and I aim at having quick results. However, I also have weaknesses; in which my
weaknesses are that most of the time, I will overlook risks and warnings, make quick decisions
most of the time, I will neglect details, and would cause problems in teams, I will request or hope
for the high demand of others without being sensitive towards others feelings, and I would
mainly exaggerate control of others.
The ideal environment for me would be to have opportunities to gain success, to have
little control over me and little supervision as I like to be my own leader, to have challenges and
prestige, to get direct answers, and have a little discussion regarding a matter, to have new tasks,
and to have a strong and influential function. I need others to analyze and act carefully, prepare
good decisions, calculate risks, and do routine jobs, making my job easier for me.
As a dominant person, I should always give short and precise answers, in other words,
direct answers, I should tell others what to do without telling them the reason as to why to do it, I
should emphasize the results, if there is a problem in a certain situation I should offer
alternatives, and I should always explain the logic of proceeding. However, while the mentioned
things are what I should do, I should also mention the things that I should not do as a dominant
person, which are showing indecisiveness, instead of showing how to do a thing or talking about
a solution talking about problems, I should always be formal with others and not show too much
friendliness, I should not give too many details and talk too much with repeating stuff to others.
To have effective and better communication with others, I should be myself and avoid
being too confident or arrogant; I should avoid talking too much and talk only in business terms
and talk about business rather than talking about the social life of them or mine.
All in all, I would say that this exercise helped me find my style of behavior, which is
the dominant style, where people with this style of behavior are motivated to reach their goals
and solve any problem that is thrown in their way, it is about being own boss rather than being
under someone else's supervision. To succeed in life and be a better leader, it is always good to
understand one's behavior style.
