Team Dynamics

It’s not about putting people in boxes. It’s about helping teammates understand each other better, and giving Palette the context it needs to support your team’s work more intelligently.

You’ll see this in the Team Wheel and personality profiles, and feel it in how Palette adapts its tone, nudges, and suggestions based on who it’s talking to.

What it is

Palette uses public signals like your LinkedIn profile to estimate your DISC personality type.

It then maps your team across the four DISC styles:

• Dominance – direct, decisive, challenge-driven

• Influence – social, enthusiastic, persuasive

• Steadiness – calm, consistent, team-oriented

• Conscientiousness – detail-focused, analytical, structured

You can improve accuracy by submitting your DISC result from a quick self-assessment.

Each teammate also gets a profile with:

• Behavioral sliders (e.g. risk-tolerant vs. risk-averse)

• Communication tips: how to connect better, what to avoid

• Style summaries to reference before feedback, meetings, or planning

Why it matters

Most teams never take time to reflect on how people are wired.

But when you understand how your teammates prefer to think, work, and decide, everything runs smoother.

Palette uses this model to:

• Adapt its communication style and tone

• Spot potential blind spots or style clashes

• Suggest better ways to give feedback or collaborate

• Help build trust faster, especially in async or fast-moving teams

How it works

• When you join, Palette estimates your DISC type using your public LinkedIn profile

• You can improve the result with a short self-assessment

• The Team Wheel and personality profiles are available in the Dynamics section of the web app

• Palette uses this model quietly in the background to personalize how it supports your team

Where it shows up

• Team Wheel → visual breakdown of DISC styles

• Personality profiles → individual traits and working styles

• Behavioral sliders → trust, risk, communication preferences

• Sidebar insights → click on any teammate to ask Palette how to work with them

• Integrated into workflows → like weekly priorities, meeting prep, and pulse check-ins

Reading your Team Wheel

The Team Wheel shows how your team is distributed across the four DISC styles. Each dot represents a person.

• Clusters indicate shared styles (e.g. lots of C’s = detail-focused team)

• Gaps suggest missing traits (e.g. no I’s = may lack enthusiasm or outward energy)

• A balance across types often leads to more rounded collaboration

• You can hover over each dot to see the person and get quick tips on how they work

What Palette does with it

• Adjusts tone, prompts, and summaries based on who it’s talking to

• Highlights gaps or overlaps in team styles

• Suggests better ways to assign work, give feedback, or structure meetings

• Helps you understand who might need more clarity, structure, or autonomy

Prompts to try

Ask Palette directly:

• “What’s my DISC type?”

• “Who on the team is most different from me?”

• “What should I keep in mind when working with Lars?”

• “Do we have any major blind spots?”

Or click on a teammate to open a private thread and ask:

• “What motivates Christian?”

• “How should I give feedback to Steffen?”

• “Anything I should know before working with Lars on a deadline?”
