The "Gold" Manager

Managing in Color!

What are you talking about?

As Gold, leading comes very natural to you! But just like the other temperaments, there are a few “blind spots” you can avoid so that you won’t be a barrier to your team interactions. Here’s how:

Your Innate Strengths:

One of your most basic needs is for order, structure and organization. Your team loves that expectations are clearly outlined and tasks are fairly distributed. You also have excellent follow-though.

Possible Weakness: Unwilling to take risks and compromise.

Beware of: Your ability to maintain control can easily morph into becoming “controlling”. Allow your team room to make decisions, try new ideas and manage themselves. Your team will learn just as much from failure as they do from success. You simply must coach them and guide them through debriefing the process.

Gold Values: Responsibility, Dependability and Consistency

Stressors: Lack of order, Procrastination and Time-wasters

What you may enjoy most about your work:Having responsibility, being helpful and organizing the team.
