Are You Red? Blue? White? Yellow?


Understanding your personality and the different personalities of your staff is important in assigning tasks, communicating, and addressing problems. This session informed attendants about the personalities and the pros and cons of each.Everyone at the session took a personality test. I was a red/blue personality.

Red is a very strong personality. Usually very productive and practical, reds are used to getting thier way and work well is leadership positions because they get things done. Sometimes hard to work with, reds can be bossy.

Blues are very loyal and everything they do is quality based. Blues are the most controlling of personalities and are very committed. They are dependable, worry prone and very analytical.

To know how to work with and respond to your staff you first have to understand your own personality. We discussed which personalities worked well together and performed which tasks the best. This session gave an interesting insight on how to read and manage your staff.
