Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Art Schoeck

Workplace Recognition as a Motivator

DISC Behavioral Style analysis offers a neutral language and concrete actions for motivating. I saw a study in which recognition and praise were considered great workplace motivators. Well, maybe and maybe not. Instead of a general suggestion to praise employees, DISC will give you more targeted tips.

While giving personal thanks for a job well done may tend to motivate workers with a High I in their behavioral style profile, Low I’s may be suspicious of such praise.

A High I likes praise and recognition, but also needs people to talk to and a chance to help and motivate others.

If you praise High I’s, but then put them in charge of firing people, or isolate them, then your praise will mean nothing.

Recognition may please a High D - especially if it acknowledges bottom-line results and comes with prestige - but if you take away the power to make changes and confront problems or slow him/her down with a lot of repetitive tasks, then that recognition doesn’t matter.

A High C wants quality information, effective procedures, and proven strategies. Your praise may simply seem superficial - it may even annoy.

A Low C that is tangled up in meaningless procedures will appreciate the opportunity to do a bit of troubleshooting - to think “out of the box.”

High S’s may like personal recognition, but are really more conce ed with their niche, with the security of their position as part of a habitual status quo. If you introduce a lot of sudden changes without their advance buy-in, or rush them… and a Low S will be bored without some variety in the tasks they do.
