  20. Relating to Yellows Yellows prefer, and even enjoy having a set procedure for everything. They like numbers, rules, and structure. So when you relate to Yellows, here are a few suggestions:

  21. Relating to Yellows • Build relationships around task-oriented projects. • Outline the task and let them find practical methods for accomplishing it. • Challenge them to outline specific objectives and solutions to problems. • Allow space and interact rationally and objectively. • Alleviate worry by having a clear-cut strategy. • Outline a tangible goal. • Draw on their ability to analyze. • Take the initiative, but let them suggest alternatives.

  22. Relating to Greens These are the conversational, quick-decision-makers. If you’re not a Green as well, it may be difficult for you to try to keep up with these individuals. But here are some recommendations to get you started:

  23. Relating to Greens • Interact by expressing your concerns and sharing feelings. • Realize the importance of recognition, compliments, and appreciation. • Show an interest and allow them to talk. • Expect them to get involved and interact. • Capitalize on Greens’ ease in relating to others and making them comfortable. • Count on their eager assistance. • Use their talent for enlivening and entertaining in social situations. • Tell them how they can help, and draw on their practical applications.

  24. Relating to Reds Reds generally enjoy building, organizing, and seeing projects through to completion. They are direct in their approach to problems and people, so don’t be put off by them. Here are some suggestions:

  25. Relating to Reds • Act, react, and respond to their initiative. • Challenge and confront them. • Be forceful, direct and straightforward. • Identify the need or the problem for them, and then hang on as they go to work. • Draw on their expertise in promoting change and new concepts. • Recognize their practical leadership potential and give support. • Stay involved to give additional/balancing viewpoints when new challenges arise. • Avoid lengthy explanations and sentiment.

  26. Relating to Blues When dealing with “Blue” people, you might need to check occasionally to make sure you’ve still got their attention. Their minds have a tendency to springboard from whatever you’re saying to dozens of other things at a moment’s notice. To keep them on track, try these ideas:

  27. Relating to Blues • Relate to them in a quiet way. • Run your plan by them for consideration. • Involve them in the planning. • Outline the project and allow them to take the initiative. • Ask them to help in ways directly related to their talents. • Give justified support and encouragement. • Show deserved appreciation by being a friend. • Make use of their ideas and creativity.
