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.
- The BLUE employee encourages us to do the best that we can, providing support during difficult tasks.
- Our GOLD colleagues are the members of our team that keep us focused and on track. We count on them for details.
- Finally, our ORANGE staff reminds 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 continuously push us in a positive direction.

| Personal Strengths | Leadership Style | Management Style | Employee Style | |
| Orange | skillfulness | troubleshooter | action-oriented | active |
| Blue | authenticity | catalyst | people-oriented | relationship-oriented |
| Gold | duty | stabilizer | organization-oriented | structured |
| Green | knowledge | visionary | topic-oriented | intellectual |
Look for ways to blend your True Colors strengths and styles in each situation you encounter at home and at work. Even if your ‘home’ spectrum is different from your ‘work’ spectrum, you’ll see overlapping similarities which can help interactions anywhere.
