The AMA DISC Survey (10 Pack)

The AMA DISC Survey is designed and intended to be used for individual, group, and organizational development. The survey is equally suitable for managers, work group or team members, and individual contributors. The personal styles measured by the survey are relevant to programs focusing on personal development, problem solving and decision making, time management, interpersonal relations, conflict management, team building, and organizational change.

The AMA DISC Survey has several unique features that provide distinct advantages over alternative personal style assessments. These include:

  • The Survey is explicitly oriented toward work-related behaviors.
  • The Survey is designed to enhance reliability and validity.
  • The Survey is printed on NCR (no carbon required) paper (easy to score).
  • The Survey provides an efficient way for people to learnabout their styles.

The AMA DISC Survey comes with a Debriefing Guide that includes seven modules, each of which take approximately 5 to 10 minutes to complete. The Debriefing Guide provides facilitators and respondents with a variety of options for understanding and applying The AMA DISC Survey:

  • The Guide provides interpretations of dominant styles, as well as style combinations.
  • The Guide encourages participants to apply the information presented.
  • The Guide enables participants to examine the positive and negative aspects of their styles.
  • The Guide is oriented toward self-development.
  • The Guide can be used in a number of ways.

The AMA DISC Survey takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes to administer, score, and debrief.

The AMA DISC Survey can be used as an introduction to personal styles, or it can be used as the basis for a half-day session on personal, interpersonal, team, or organizational development. Appendix B presents a number of suggested program designs for using The AMA DISC Survey to accomplish different objectives. A set of transparency masters is contained in Appendix C.

This program gives managers the skills of persuasion, vital in running meetings or trying to influence others.

Persuasion is an art that must be learned if the road to agreement is not to be strewn with acrimony or conflict.

Then agreement follows naturally.

The benefits

  • Supports courses on management and leadership skills
  • A clear three-stage structure that's memorable and simple to put into practice

Programme includes: DVD or video (27 mins), Briefcase booklet and Discussion guide

Communication: The Nonverbal Agenda, 2nd Edition - DVD

This is a provocative video program that examines the role that nonverbal messages play in our lives at work. We learn that ignoring nonverbal language can have costly consequences.

As we see in the training program, it is especially troublesome when we send or receive mixed messages -- when the words say one thing and the facial expressions, tone of voice, and body language say something else. Confused messages greatly impair our ability to communicate effectively. They have an adverse impact on morale, performance and productivity.

Fortunately, however, we can all improve our abilities in this area. Nonverbal language is something we cannot afford to ignore. It is a powerful and fascinating aspect of communication. This video offers concrete guidance in becoming more alert to this "silent language."

Viewers will learn:

  • That nonverbal messages are equally or even more important than the words we use
  • What happens when verbal and nonverbal messages conflict
  • What types of messages are conveyed by nonverbal language
  • What to listen to and look for in a nonverbal message
  • To understand cultural differences in nonverbal language
  • To become aware of one's own nonverbal language
  • The importance of sending consistent messages

Performance Matters: The Need for Constructive Criticism - DVD

Hosted by John Cleese

Free Online Preview

To enable managers to employ criticism as a means of preventing the recurrence of mistakes and improving staff performance.

Nobody enjoys being criticized, which is why few managers relish the prospect of criticizing their staff-yet is has to be done. Everyone makes mistakes, but no-one can be allowed to go on making the same mistake-and people shouldn’t have to wait until an appraisal to discover they have done something wrong.

The program is set in the offices of a district council, where an oversight in preparing for a meeting leads to the rejection of a sensitive planning application. The planning officer concerned shrinks from confronting an otherwise efficient assistant until a stern memo from the chief executive forces a rethink.

But rather than establishing what had happened and taking action to put it right, the officer makes a series of clumsy attempts to discipline the assistant-including a telling off in front of junior colleagues, failing to agree what had gone wrong and criticizing them personally rather than what they had done.

Learning how to handle the situation correctly means understanding how the problem arose, and the assistant is able to suggest a means of avoiding such mistakes in the future.

Features and applications:

  • Helps managers understand that criticism is an essential part of a manager’s responsibilities
  • Shows why people should only be criticized for what they’ve done, not what they are
  • Emphasizes how criticism done badly can make things worse
  • Lays down seven rules for ensuring that criticism is conducted effectively and without acrimony

Dialogue - Now You're Talking! Series - DVD

new.gif

This program is also available for online training. See details below.

Through a series of short dramatizations this unique series explores the rules and techniques that distinguish a Dialogue from other forms of communication, such as debate or negotiation. The series examines how we can surface the often unspoken assumptions, in ourselves and in others, that can stand in the way of effective organizational communication. In so doing we build mutual trust and respect.

Each program in the series can stand alone and may be licensed separately. There are volume discounts if you license the entire series or multiple copies of any program.

Program Contents:

Communicating in a Diverse World. Overview. What is dialogue - contrasting debate and dialogue. Initiating Dialogue - how to do it, where to do it. The skills of Dialogue - Suspension (of judgment, decision making and status); Listening (with empathy, for understanding, showing you care); Discovery (uncovering and sharing hidden assumptions in yourself and others). Includes a dramatization of how Dialogue helps us communicate across job functions, helping improve relations between people at different levels within the organization as well as between different departments or areas of expertise. (25 minutes)

Dialogue for Cultural Understanding. We apply the skills of dialogue outlined in Program 1 to challenges faced in culturally diverse work environments. We see a dramatization that demonstrates how dialogue can be used to open communication, uncover hidden assumptions, break down stereotypes and facilitate more productive relationships. (24 minutes)

Dialogue between Genders. A dramatized dialogue shows us how the skills we learned in Program 1 can be used to overcome misunderstandings, break down gender stereotypes and improve communications between men and women at work. (21 minutes)

Dialogue among Generations. We demonstrate how the skills of dialogue can be used to bridge the personal and professional style differences that exist between employees of different ages. We uncover how divergent personal and world views common to people of different generations can lead to misunderstandings and distrust and how dialogue can help overcome age barriers and build more productive workplace relationships. (24 minutes)

Program includes: A comprehensive facilitation guide, reproducible handouts and PowerPoint slides for classroom presentation.

    The Respectful Workplace (3 DVD Set)

    These program are also available for online training. See details below.

    While the media has focused on the spectacular but very rare instances of lethal workplace violence, the reality in most workplaces is very different. We deal with daily occurrences of hostility, intimidation, harassment and other damaging behavior. The perpetrators are employees, managers and customers. So are the victims. They are us. Unlike the rare, extreme cases, the more common manifestations of workplace violence take a daily toll on most workplaces. The Respectful Workplace is a resource designed to help organizations put an end to this other violence - the destructive conflicts that affect us all.

    Series Objectives

    The Respectful Workplace is a 3 part training series designed to help organizations address the behavioral and values issues that can allow conflicts to escalate. The series treats workplace violence as an outgrowth of hostility, harassment, bullying and intimidation which has not been effectively dealt with and arms employees and managers with the tools they will need to ensure respectful workplace relations. Program Contents:

    • Program 1, Opening the Right Doors (25 minutes) teaches employees skills for dispute resolution and diffusing hostility. We learn to take responsibility for eliminating intimidation, bullying and harassment from our workplace culture.

    • Program 2, Diffusing Hostility through Customer Service (25 minutes), takes a strong customer service training approach to the issue of working with hostile customers. Important communications skills are taught which will help employees turn difficult customer service challenges around. However, where abusive customers cross the lines of acceptable behavior, employees are empowered to put their physical and emotional safety first.

    • Program 3, Managing Harmony (26 minutes), defines the role leaders must play in creating and supporting a non-violent, respectful workplace. We explore the organizational costs of inappropriate behavior, diffusing hostile situations, aligning policy and behavior with the organization's values, how conflict can be a positive force, and the organization's responsibility to provide effective avenues for dispute resolution.

    Each program in The Respectful Workplace series includes several dramatizations designed to help focus and stimulate discussion. There are 10 of these scenes.

    Support Materials

    The Respectful Workplace series comes with a comprehensive Facilitator's Guide. Handout pages are incorporated in the guide. Trainers need only to decide which topics would be relevant for individual distribution and which to copy as transparencies. With the purchase of this series, QMR grants you license to make as many copies of the Facilitator's Guide or the handout / transparency pages as you need for your organization.
