Practitioners enjoy being a team member and helping others succeed. They prefer a supportive role, and would rather not be the leader. They don’t want to be held accountable for major decisions or taking risks. When they have plenty of time to think things through, they can bring valuable insights to the team process. Their reluctance to move fast can frustrate others.
Practitioners prefer a comfortable and cooperative environment where people are trusting and pleasant. They thrive when they can contribute to projects that require attention to detail.
Daily performance and self-discipline is important to Practitioners. The expectations they have of themselves and others are very high. They have a tendency to voice disapproval when their expectations are not met.

I believe the DISC is a nice way to bring self awareness, however, when it dictates everything about who I am to others, in a report that I’m now bound to the description of behaviors…. its taking things a bit too far (bosses with no psychological training are now experts about my personality ??). Then they want to talk to me like I need to be spoken to (according to my DISC) comes across very strange and manipulative. Unlike just having a normal conversation and working through the various differences of opinion. Bottom line, its a starting point, self awareness and understanding of our differences. Situations change and so do behaviors. Just my take. Thank you
