    How to Fix Restaurant Management Problems Using DISC (Personality Testing)

    When you've been running restaurants for almost 20 years like I have, you start noticing patterns. Eespecially when it comes to why certain restaurant managers thrive while others quietly (or loudly) drive top talent out the door. And it rarely has anything to do with technical skill. In this episode of the Restaurant Growth Accelerator Podcast, we dive deep into the DISC personality assessment system and how it directly impacts your restaurant management, team dynamics, and leadership success. You’ll discover how understanding each manager’s DISC profile can help you: ✅Build a more balanced and effective restaurant leadership team ✅Predict and prevent common restaurant staffing and turnover issues ✅Improve communication and accountability across your locations ✅Delegate smarter based on personality style (not just job title) ✅Reduce conflict and increase alignment using tailored DISC communication strategies We break down real-life restaurant operations scenarios, from the disorganized closing manager who left the phone in the freezer, to the manager who avoided tough conversations. Whether you're dealing with a D-style general manager who barks orders and drives turnover, or an I-style front-of-house leader who’s loved but never holds people accountable - you'll see yourself and your team in these stories. This episode is essential listening for restaurant owners, general managers, and multi-unit operators who want to scale without losing control of culture or team performance. We also cover how to use DISC to train restaurant managers, design better restaurant team building strategies, and make smarter hires by intentionally choosing complementary personality types. Key Points 00:00:50 An Intro To personality types 00:03:50 D personality 00:06:50 I personality 00:09:10 S personality 00:12:30 C personality 00:15:10 Action vs analysis personalities 00:18:10 Delegation problems by type 00:19:50 D's issues 00:22:10 I's fear 00:23:30 S’s avoidance 00:24:50 C’s perfectionism 00:25:50 D manager meltdown story 00:31:50 Self-awareness through DISC 00:34:50 Building balanced restaurant teams Stop wondering why your management team isn’t aligned.
