DISC COMBINATION · S PRIMARY, C SECONDARY

The Steward

Careful and reliable. You protect quality and keep your promises.

What this person is like

An SC keeps promises and protects quality. They'd rather do it right than do it fast, and their work rarely comes back for fixes. The paperwork is done, the truck is stocked, the standard holds.

The SC combination pairs the Anchor's energy (steadies the team, keeps the promise) with a Craftsman streak (gets the details right, every time).

How to work with a Steward

Don't force them to wing it. Give them the spec, the time, and the tools, and the job gets done properly once.

Hiring a Steward (SC)

Steadies a team: operations, service, delivery. Give clear expectations and stability, and ramp change gradually. The secondary C means you also get rigorous and thorough; interview for it directly instead of assuming.
