The 4-Dimensional Manager is a breakthrough book that offers a powerful tool-the DiSC(r) system-to help managers
understand both their own work style and that of each of their employees so that they can work together more effectively.
DiSC stands for four communication styles or "dimensions": Dominance (direct and decisive); Influence
(optimistic and outgoing); Supportive (sympathetic and cooperative); and Conscientious (concerned and correct).
Author Julie Straw first shows managers how to use the system to analyze their own style and that of their employees.
She then shows how to choose the most effective management style (or combination of styles) for any situation,
focusing on seven key areas: delegating, decision making, problem solving, motivating, complimenting, giving feedback,
and developing skills. The DiSC tool is easy to use and the insights will deliver results again and again.
