DiSC Classic Profile – Steadiness Family – “Achiever” Pattern – S/d
The Achiever Pattern is the third of four patterns in the Steadiness Family and it presents with a primary S and secondary d.
People with a DiSC Classic Profile with the Achiever pattern have a strong sense of personal accountability. They are confident of their personal work accomplishments, and may be reluctant to delegate tasks when under stress. They thrive when they have a strong sense of direction over their work and personal lives. They are continually in pursuit of new accomplishments. While their D nature is focused on results, their S nature cares about fairness and respect. They are natural style choice when fighting for equality and justice. With their S-compassion and D-tenacity, they are willing to speak up for those who are unwilling or unable. With the willpower of the D tendency, and the S-patience tendency, the Achiever displays unwavering determination to fight for a cause.
The dual style of S and D makes it difficult to predict the reactions of the Achiever. Sometimes they are in D mode – direct and results oriented, and at other times they are in S mode – caring and accommodating. They are highly independent, yet may want to be part of a high performing team. They express fierce loyalty to people in their lives.
