Editorial Review:
Successful managers work like coaches, assessing each person's strengths and weaknesses and developing the best strategy to get the job done. The 4-Dimensional Manager shows how managers can become more effective by using the DiSC system. "DiSC" stands for four communication styles: Dominance (direct and decisive); Influence (optimistic and outgoing); Supportive (sympathetic and cooperative); and Conscientious (concerned and correct). In the book's first part, readers assess their own style, the style of the people they manage, and the style of their organization. The second part shows how to choose the most effective style (or combination of styles) for any situation, focusing on seven key areas: delegating, decision making, problem solving, motivating, complimenting, giving constructive feedback, and developing skills.

Great resource 2008-06-28
This book is great. I took the DiSC profiler and been improving the way to deal with daily situations. This is practical in job and in life.


DiSC users reference 2008-04-16
This is a great little book both for those new to DiSC and old time users of this tool. Great tips for Managers who want to adapt their management style to better communicate with their employees. Tips on giving feedback, problem solving, delegating etc. Well worth the money.


Interesting reading 2007-12-14
The book is short and very good. It basically outlines common different behavioral models and focuses on the best approach to communicate with people belonging to each model profile.
Of course it all revolves around your willing to adapt your style when dealing with others, especially if you manage a team.
So try to put these suggestions in practise otherwise it remains only an interesting leisure book.
