Harmony in the Workplace!
Why do we need all four colors in the workplace? Harmony! Each dominant color type brings natural gifts and talents to the job.
The GREEN employee provides vision to keep us moving forward and in a positive direction.
The BLUE employee encourages us to do the best that we can, providing support during difficult tasks.
Our GOLD employees are the members of our team that keep us on track and focused. We count on them for details.
Finally, our ORANGE employees remind us that life, including work is fun! We look to them to provide the lighter side of a task.
Being aware and knowing the role of each color when you’re trying to figure out what’s next will eliminate much of the stress on the job. So remember, each color comes to the table with unique strengths and abilities that will continuously push us in a positive direction.

Has your color spectrum changed over the years? How?
Describe those changes to your colleagues. Remember True Colors is a tool to understanding others and ourselves. It is a common language because we talk about it and use it to articulate our perspectives to each other. Keep it going.
