What is DISC Assessment

Leadership takes on many forms and definitions. Mindful leadership is a form of leadership that incorporates elements of mindfulness to foster a positive workplace environment through compassion, focus, creativity, and inclusion. The diversity of today's workplace calls for mindful leaders who practice collaboration, motivation, and respect for all individuals. When individuals feel respected and included, motivation and job performance increases. This chapter discusses the concept of mindfulness, benefits of mindful leadership, ways to become a mindful leader, applying results of the DISC self-assessment, and ways to promote mindful leadership in diverse workplaces. Problems such as employee turnover, productivity, and motivation as they relate to employee satisfaction will also be addressed.
