Life in the workplace is like one, big, messy, beautiful team. (If I said family, some of you may cringe) And just like any team out there, every team has their quirks. There's the overly organized colleague who colour-codes their calendar (hello, Golds!), the big picture thinker who asks the 5 Whys in a meeting (we see you, Greens), the colleague who knows everyone's birthday and always does their rounds in the week to check in and say hello (hi, Blues!) and the schange loving, adventure seeking colleague who thrives with last-minute deadlines (shoutout to the Oranges!).
This is where Personality Dimensions swoops in to provide clarity into these quirks. A tool that helps you understand the unique ways people think, work, communicate, approach problem solving and all that good stuff. It's not about labeling people (no one puts baby in a corner!) but about creating a language of understanding so we can all work together without losing our minds.
As a leader, your job isn't just to keep the lights on and hit targets. It's about building a team that thrives. And guess what? This tool is your secret weapon to doing it.
Ever felt like your email was well written but your team responded unexpectedly to it? Understanding these differences helps you deliver your message in a way that is influential and resonates with the team, ensuring clarity and true alignment.
Conflicts? Yup, they happen. But when you understand what makes someone tick (and ticked off) it's easy to approach disagreement or those uncomfortable conversations by finding common ground (so you don't have to pretend your camera isn't work on the call that day).
Everyone wants a chance to showcase their strengths and be celebrated for it. The Golds keep things organized, the Greens innovate, the Blues foster relationships, and the Oranges help us navigate chaos. Of course there is much more depth to each colour, but diving into this is how you build a truly strength based team.
When people feel seen, understood and valued, they stick around.
The best part about Personality Dimensions? It's fun to learn, easy to learn and even easier to implement in your team.
So if you're ready to stop guessing about your team and start leading with confidence, you know where to find a certified trainer (ahem, hannah@buildakickasscompany.com)
