All DiSC personality types have natural talents and drawbacks when in conflict situations.
D-style people assert during conflict. They confront issues directly, but can get too focused on winning.
i-style people express during conflict. They verbalize their emotions well, but can resort to personal attacks.
S-style people harmonize during conflict. They are good at finding common ground, but give in to please others.
C-style people defend during conflict. They have the tenacity to stick with an issue until they find the root problem, but can overuse passive-aggressive tactics.
By learning about the DiSC conflict styles, you can change how you manage conflicts with different people in your life. This will help you build stronger relationships over time.

It’s a good idea to set some ground rules at the beginning of a training session. (Should people raise hands? Hold questions until the end?) One helpful ground rule you can propose is that anyone can say ELMO if a discussion has gone on longer than productive, or if someone is lost on a tangent. When handled in a playful way, it can be an effective shorthand to manage over-participators and keep the conversation focused.
