A happier, healthier, and more productive team!
A short overview on one of the 4 colour energies:
🟢 Earth Green:
What are the characteristics of this colour energy?
Earth Green represents the combination of Introversion and Feeling. People with this colour energy preference tend to view the world through their values and what’s important to them. They seek harmony and depth in relationships and defend what they value with quiet determination and persistence. Colleagues with this colour energy preference prefer democratic approaches that respect the individual and like to ensure all perspectives are heard and considered in decision-making processes. In short, they are characterised by an internal focus on value, relationships, trust and support.
How to work with someone who leads with Earth Green?
Your colleagues that lead with this colour energy preference like all ideas and perspectives to be heard in relation to group projects; so ensure to enable this level of discussion. They enjoy the space to work independently, but also depend on opportunities for team relationship building and collaboration to enhance relationships within the team. Make sure any decisions are made democratically and that individual preferences and needs are understood to enhance team harmony.
Your unique mix 🔴 🟡 🔵 🟢
You may lead with one colour energy, but it is the combination of the four colour energies that create the unique you! We are all nuanced, and how these colours interact may differ depending on the day, surroundings, external and internal pressures. An awareness of how you are ‘showing up’ to others each day is crucial not only to elevate your self-awareness but also to understand how you interact with your team.
Your team is unique, so leverage these individual preferences and treat others not as you would like to be treated, but as they would like to be treated! The result? Harmony in your team through a shared understanding of preferences.
