Giving and receiving feedback: Tips for each personality type
Feedback implies a need for a change of focus, activity, or behavior and can stir up personal fears and insecurities. However, research shows that people desire our feedback more than we think they do. Most people want to do good work, and feedback is part of getting better.
Each DiSC style has differing goals for and fears around feedback. Here are some tips for giving and receiving feedback in a more targeted and useful way.
Remote teams miss out on the natural feedback of in-person spaces. But they can build a culture of feedback through intention and practice.

🙋 Featured FAQ 🙋
Q: What are “priorities” in Everything DiSC?
A: The eight words around the Everything DiSC map are called priorities, or the primary areas where people focus their energy. These priorities differ by application, so for example, someone with an iD style will prioritize Action in Everything DiSC Sales, but Assertion in Everything DiSC Productive Conflict.
Everyone has at least three priorities, and sometimes people have four or five. Having five priorities is no better than having three, and vice versa.
