COLOR CODE

Please feel free to take the anonymous 'color' poll at right, based on the Dec. 4th blog.

Not long ago our staff pastors took The Color Code evaluation (http://www.thecolorcode.com/) to see how our leadership styles and personalities were spread out among the eight of us. It was extremely interesting and enlightening.

The Color Code introduces four personality "Colors," or driving core motives:

RED (Motive: POWER) — 'Reds' are the power wielders. They have the ability to move from Point A to Point B and get things done. They bring gifts of vision and leadership and generally are responsible, decisive, proactive and assertive.

BLUE (Motive: INTIMACY) — 'Blues' are the do-gooders. Intimacy, connecting, creating quality relationships and having purpose is what motivates and drives 'blues.' They bring gifts of quality and service and are generally loyal, sincere, and thoughtful.

WHITE (Motive: PEACE) — 'Whites' are the peacekeepers. Peace, or the absence of conflict, is what motivates and drives them. They bring gifts of clarity and tolerance and are generally kind, adaptable and good listeners.

YELLOW (Motive: FUN) — 'Yellows' are the fun lovers. The joy of doing something just for the sake of doing it is what motivates and drives 'yellows.' They bring gifts of enthusiasm and optimism and are generally charismatic, spontaneous and sociable.

Our staff pastors are represented in the following breakdown:
Reds - 4
Blues - 1
Whites - 1
Yellows - 2

MY color was: Red.

And be blessed.

MATT:
In the version of the color code our staff took, there was no green as a color label.
