Pop a cork!

Your primary leadership communication style is…

Influence

Your quiz results are based on the DISC model, focusing on the four primary styles: Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Conscientiousness.

Here’s a quick breakdown of the four styles:

Dominance-style leaders

They are driven, direct, and decisive. They focus on getting results and value clear, concise communication and directness. They appreciate when a team member gets straight to the point and dislike unnecessary details or ambiguity.

Influence-style leaders

They are enthusiastic, charming, and persuasive. They value building positive relationships and enjoy working collaboratively with their teams. They appreciate open communication and will likely encourage everyone to share ideas and collaborate.

Steadiness-style leaders

They are patient, calm, and dependable. They value strong relationships and cooperation over competition. Effective listening skills are important to them, and they appreciate when others take the time to listen to their ideas and concerns.

Conscientiousness-style leaders

They are detail-oriented, analytical, and diplomatic. They value logical reasoning and base their decisions on facts and data. Their communication is usually clear and structured, helping their teams understand exactly what is expected of them.

Remember, no one falls completely within one DiSC profile style. Everyone has a unique mix of DISC styles, and each style has its strength and areas for growth.

This quiz focuses on your most dominant traits. Use these insights to build on your strengths, work on your areas of improvement, and communicate effectively with different colleagues. Your DISC style is not meant to box you in but to help you gain self-awareness and the ability to adapt and grow as a leader.

Let's talk about you and your primary leadership communication style: Influence.

You are a natural team builder and networker – enthusiastic, collaborative, and motivational as a communicator. You are good at inspiring others and thrive on interacting with people, exchanging ideas, and exploring possibilities.

Congratulations on embodying the dynamic qualities of an Influential style leader!

Here's what makes your leadership communication style exceptional:

  1. Positive Persuader: Your optimism and positivity can be contagious. You are persuasive and can often get others on board with your ideas, using your infectious energy and enthusiasm.

  2. Skilled Relationship Builder: You are excellent at building rapport and maintaining relationships, which are essential for a cohesive and harmonious team. Your ability to connect with others on a personal level fosters a culture of trust and mutual respect.

  3. Effective Communicator: Your communication style is open, expressive, and engaging. You often initiate conversations and are comfortable speaking in public or presenting ideas.

  4. Motivational Force: You excel at motivating others. Your positive and enthusiastic demeanor often inspires your team to strive for the best.

  5. Collaborative Spirit: You value collaboration and work well within a team. You can facilitate smooth interactions and ensure everyone’s voice is heard, fostering an inclusive atmosphere.

Your communication style is essential to cultivating a positive and collaborative work environment. You motivate your team with optimism and enthusiasm, encouraging them to reach their full potential.

But remember, all leadership styles come with areas to improve. Embracing these areas will allow you to develop your leadership style even further. As you continue on your leadership journey, stay open to feedback and remain willing to adapt your style to meet your team’s needs. Your willingness to learn and improve will strengthen your already impressive leadership capabilities.

People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.

Are you ready to empower your team and achieve your biggest goals yet?

Yes, you are! And the best part is you don’t have to do everything all at once. Start with one strategy and then take it from there. Your team is so lucky to have you as their leader; they are hungry for your guidance, support, and praise.

You can empower your team to achieve remarkable results by continuously improving your leadership and communication skills.

I’m going to offer you FIVE detailed and actionable strategies that you, as an Influence-style leader, can implement to reach your goals while empowering your team in the process. Here is your first (the following four will be delivered to your email inbox):

1.
Structure and Clarify Your Objectives

As an Influence-style leader, you thrive on enthusiasm, energy, and creativity. But you might overlook the details and get caught up in the excitement of new ideas. This can lead to a lack of clarity and structure in setting objectives for your team. When your team is unsure of what is expected of them, they will struggle to achieve any goals or execute objectives successfully.

Strategy:

  • Implement a structured approach to setting objectives to ensure they are clear and measurable.
  • You’ll need to be more intentional if you want your team to know what is expected of them. It might be challenging at first, but when you are intentional in this approach, it can lead to improved team alignment, clearer communication, and better results.

Actionable Steps you can apply immediately:

  • Use the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) to define your objectives. This framework will help you to be more structured and detailed in setting goals and clarifying your objectives.
  • Clearly communicate the objectives and expectations to your team. Use clear and concise language, and ensure your message is consistent across all team members.
  • Hold short, frequent meetings to track the progress of objectives. Use these meetings to realign focus, provide feedback, and clarify any confusion about the objectives. This will help your team maintain a sense of direction and momentum toward achieving their goals.

Hi, I’m Kele

I’ve been around the block when it comes to being a trusted leader and confident speaker.

I teach female leaders and those aspiring to leadership to stop second-guessing themselves and lead with confidence.

There is more than one way of being a successful, inspiring, and dynamic leader, and I’ll guide you with actionable strategies to lean into your strengths and surround yourself with a kickass team.

Make no mistake; I wasn’t always the confident leader who led empathetically and could easily stand up in front of my entire team and deliver an inspiring message.

But with a dream in my heart of making a bigger impact, I worked with a coach, attended leadership programs, and did the work. And the fact that you have taken this quiz shows that you want that too!

One of the biggest lessons my clients learn daily is that self-awareness is crucial to taking your leadership and communication skills to the next level. That’s why I created this quiz.

Your quiz results are designed to give you plenty of clarity, tips, and strategies for leaning into your leadership communication superpowers and adapting your style to your team’s needs. Imagine the success you’re cultivating!

To your leadership success,
