Cognitive Colour Spotlight: Green
Manage episode 373737408 series 3399500
#44 - This week we’re shining a light on everyone’s favourite co-worker: Green. People with Green as their Cognitive Colour tend to be team-oriented, genuine, loyal, and love to do work in service of others. In this episode, Shane breaks down the common traits a Green will have in the workplace and what CultureSmith is doing to help bring more Greens to the leadership table. We explore what makes someone a Green, why Greens struggle to rise up the ranks in the workplace, how leaders can motivate their Green employees, how Greens can become better self-advocates, and more.
