The Green Manager

If you are likely a "Green", avoid being a barrier to your team interactions by considering the following:

Your Innate Strength

You love the challenges of managing others. You likely enjoy analyzing the behaviors and dynamics within your team.

As a systems-thinker, you can easily pick apart a concept and brainstorm solutions to many situations. You may particularly enjoy working somewhat autonomously.

Possible Weakness: Over-analyzing and over-thinking

Beware of:

Don’t let your knack for problem-solving be misconstrued for incessant fault-finding when it comes to your staff interactions. Offer meaningful praise regularly and share your knowledge in respectful ways. This accommodation will likely coach your team toward improvement without making them feel inferior to you.

Green Values: Intellectual stimulation and Competence

Stressors: People that interfere with strategy and processes that don’t make sense [to you]

What you may enjoy most about your work:

Figuring out the barriers to productivity and identifying systems to remedy them; Learning and exploring new data or ideas
