DISC COMBINATION · I PRIMARY, S SECONDARY

The Connector

Relationship glue. You read people and keep them together.

What this person is like

An IS holds a crew together with warmth and steadiness. People tell them things. They notice who's struggling before the boss does, and they keep the peace without making a show of it.

The IS combination pairs The Inspirer energy (energizes the room, sells the vision) with a The Supporter streak (steadies the team, keeps the promise).

How to work with a Connector

Don't spring change on them cold. Walk them through the why and they'll bring the whole team along.

Hiring a Connector (IS)

Excels out front: sales, partnerships, customer-facing work. Check for follow-through before handing them back-office detail. The secondary S means you also get reliable and consistent; interview for it directly instead of assuming.
