Behavior assessment assists HR professionals in the early identification of misfits who have problematic behavioral attributes, such as
• Aggressive nature responsible for triggering futile arguments
• Air of arrogance causing other employees to feel insulted
• Excessive control
• Adjustment issues with other employees
• Fault-finding attitude
• Procrastination
If not dealt with on time, such personality traits can further cause:
• Interference with the work progress necessary for the achievement of long term goals
• Marginalization of performance of fellow employees
• Damage to the organization’s reputation, image and goodwill (Uris, 1988, The Executive Deskbook)
Such misfits can undermine teamwork and team spirit, resulting in inter-team differences that can create severe problems for the project manager.
DISC Assessment for Dealing with Misfits
By implementing DISC assessment, HR professionals can help problematic employees to gain in-depth insight into their problematic behavior. Such behavior assessment tools assist the development of a custom-made curative solution. With properly planned motivation and support, these individuals can become important players in getting things done for an organization.
The implementation of DISC assessment is highly recommended for tackling non-conformists. Your Ultimate Success (YUS) has aided several organizations in the early identification and resolution of an employee’s problematic behavioral aspects.
