This is the third article in a series on managing "difficult" workplace personalities. Previous instalments explored the Dominant (D) and Influential (I) styles, focusing on ways to engage individuals with assertive, results-driven, or sociable tendencies. This article considers the Steady (S) style - the calm, reliable, and supportive members of the DiSC framework. These individuals bring stability to the workplace but can be challenging for colleagues who operate at a faster pace or prefer dynamic environments. In this article, we'll explore how to identify the S style, common challenges associated with working with them, and practical strategies to engage them effectively.
