Different industrial psychologists had worked with both concepts and tried to build different kinds of tools using Marston’s theory and Jung’s archetypes without much success. John Geier, PhD was the first to successfully operationalize the DiSC model in the form commercialized by Inscape Publishing. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/everything-disc-company.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/everything-disc-company.htm Thu, 23 Apr 2009 13:49:13 EST Corexcel has recently added new courses to the nursing continuing education catalog.

But how do end users make it work? The process starts with managers learning what their own style is. Once they get a handle on how they like to interact and work, the next step is figuring out their employees’ styles then adapting their own style to meet the other person’s needs and get the work done. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/disc-management-work.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/disc-management-work.htm Tue, 17 Mar 2009 05:04:47 EST In these days of economic uncertainty, career change is a hot button issue. As baby boomers retire and leave the work force, employers are concerned about the shortage of skilled workers. In addition, corporate cost cutting, off-shoring, layoffs, and forced career changes leave many workers with difficult choices. Gone are the days of one job and one employer for life. Following a career path today can mean maneuvering... http://www.corexcel.com/articles/medical.terminology.careers.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/medical.terminology.careers.htm Thu, 08 Jan 2009 15:54:23 EST The most recent iteration of the behavioral styles concept is DiSC but the theory currently underpinning DiSC dates back to 1928. That was the year that William Molton Marston wrote a book called The Emotions of Normal People. In his book, Dr. Marston proposed a system of psychology that used the acronym of DiSC for the first time. Marston's idea was to prove brilliant but not many people actually remember that he was the father of the DiSC concept. One reason is that Marston was a Harvard trained psychologist... http://www.corexcel.com/articles/disc-history.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/disc-history.htm Tue, 25 Nov 2008 15:58:23 EST What manager hasn't said to himself, at least once in his professional life, that his job would be so much easier if it weren't for all the people he had to deal with? Odds are there isn't one person who manages employees who hasn't uttered that phrase. But getting work done through other people is what most managers are paid to do. What if you could get everything... http://www.corexcel.com/articles/disc-concepts.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/disc-concepts.htm Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:15:23 EST A friend of mine, let's call her Vicky, owns a well-established hair salon with over 15 operators. For the past year she has been agonizing over her business's slow growth. Last month, two of her employees approached her and asked for a meeting. In the meeting they asked Vicky to teach them how to manage so that they could help move the business forward. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/learning-to-lead.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/learning-to-lead.htm Wed, 10 Sep 2008 12:11:07 EST Wilmington, DE – Corexcel welcomes Donna Swanson, RN, MBA, as Director of Continuing Education.

No one wants to work in an unhealthy environment. Poor morale and unnecessary stress are detrimental to employees and company alike. Caught in a downward spiral, the toxic workplace can feel like a pit of quicksand, pulling everyone down without hope of escape. Sometimes it seems there is no cure for the problem... http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/brain-toxic-workplace.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/brain-toxic-workplace.htm Thu, 08 May 2008 12:51:38 EST "Teamwork" has become one of those buzzwords that makes many of us flinch. Often team members work at cross-purposes and the team, rather than being an aid to productivity, becomes its greatest obstacle. It doesn't have to be this way. Working with a team can improve morale, decrease frustration and ... http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/team-building-disc.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/team-building-disc.htm Tue, 11 Mar 2008 11:23:42 EST Corexcel has released Everything DiSC Sales, the latest addition to the Everything DiSC product library.

Millennials are also known as "Y's" or the "how to engage generation." Then there are Generation Xers, the boomers, and the echo boomers. Does paying attention to this really make a difference in how things happen at work each day? Researchers tell us it does. What is very certain is that managing is changing and challenging today. You and your leaders cannot afford to be "old school." http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/new_leader.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/new_leader.htm Thu, 12 Jul 2007 01:32:06 EST There are good habits that we hope all of our supervisors and managers have to help them handle the often powerful and complex challenges of leadership. Delegating with clarity and purpose might be considered an art by some while others find it completely difficult. Leaders who regularly delegate are strategically aligned with their employees to improve business processes and provide feedback. This engages employees so that they are reciprocally aligned with their leaders. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/delegation.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/delegation.htm Thu, 12 Jul 2007 11:47:12 EST From the earliest days of the cavemen, stress has been a part of our lives. However, rapid advances in technology and a wealth of information have produced extra stress levels for many of us. When computers were first introduced many predicted a 15-20 hour work week but the opposite has happened. Our ability to reach people quickly and respond instantaneously has created an environment where the emphasis is on delivering now. The pressure to meet expectations is overwhelming if people do not possess coping mechanisms to manage their stress. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/coping-methods.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/coping-methods.htm Mon, 4 Jun 2007 01:50:31 EST "The only unique asset that business has for gaining a sustained competitive advantage over rivals is its workforce - the skills and dedication of its employees. There is no other sustainable competitive advantage in the modern, high-tech, global economy," said Robert B. Reich, former Secretary of Labor under President Bill Clinton and now professor of public policy at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California at Berkeley. The workforce is changing, and depending on what sector your business is in or what part of the country it is located in, you may be feeling the pinch of ... http://corexcel.com/articles/html/work-habits-advantages.htm http://corexcel.com/articles/html/work-habits-advantages.htm Mon, 14 May 2007 12:06:22 EST With a pattern of declining birthrates and an increasingly older population in the workforce, a predominant pattern around the industrialized world, the need to train leaders is becoming more imperative. In the U.S. we have the added situation of "boomers" and "echo-boomers" which indicates that changes in the workforce are not going away in this century. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/shrinking_leadership.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/shrinking_leadership.htm Tue, 08 May 2007 10:32:33 EST Best-in-class organizations concentrate on measured performance and frequent feedback. Top performing companies are increasingly looking at competency models to improve employee performance. One of the key ingredients to competency models is employee performance feedback. Mastering the art of providing performance feedback is not easy. http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/give-performance-feedback.htm http://www.corexcel.com/articles/html/give-performance-feedback.htm Mon, 30 Apr 2007 12:47:02 EST
