Seventy percent of college graduates leave their first job within two years of starting it because they don't feel the job is a good fit for them. Eighty-five percent of people fired last year were fired because of relationship problems at work. Approximately 65–85 percent of mergers and acquisitions fail to deliver the desired results for which the companies come together, largely because of company culture clashes that cause top talent to exit the organization or lose focus and energy. Being able to attract and retain top talent brings bottom line benefits to any workplace. By some estimates, the cost of rehiring an employee knowledge wo

The Color Code is everywhere, even 30,000 feet in the air. I recently flew across the country with my 15-month-old baby. My husband had a conference to attend in Florida. And, Yellow that he is, he insisted that our baby and I tag along to make a vacation out of it. A five-hour flight with a one-year-old? Sure, what could wrong? The flight there was heavenly. Our baby, Maggie, was a dream. She ate her snacks, she played with toys, she waved sweetly to the people seated around us. What was I so worried about? Traveling with a baby is a piece of cake. I’d seen those frazzled, sweaty parents running through the airport. I’d watched as they

If you are like most, your pie chart looks similar this one, which means you have a primary color (one driving core motive) but you also have a secondary color (another motive that influences they way you think and/or behave). Just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two Reds, Blues, Whites, or Yellows are alike either. We all have our differences, our nuances, our quirks. Just because the Color Code assessment indicates a person is a Core White personality, doesn’t mean that person necessarily possesses all of the White strengths or limitations. In most cases, an individual will naturally possess both strengths and limitations from one or m

Who is to blame? It wasn’t my fault! Far too many of today’s organizations are afflicted with this pandemic of finger pointing. If it is not a person, it is a circumstance or somehow an act of God. Similar to the backseat that creativity has taken in many organizations; the lack of personal accountability has been even subtler and more elusive in the manner by which it has infiltrated businesses worldwide. Although it is difficult to quantify the hard costs, we understand that the lack of personal accountability within an organization has a drain on time, resources and overall employee morale. Understanding this, we as leaders, must be w

How Color Code Changed My Life Becky: In this journey we call life, we believe what we have been taught and conditioned to believe. We give little conscious thought to our behaviors and actions; we respond subconsciously and often speak before we think. It usually takes some major event happening in our lives (such as the death of a loved one, divorce, job loss, or life-threatening illness) to stop us in our tracks and make us reflect on who we are and exactly what it is that makes us tick. Prior to me knowing the Color Code, I spent 20 years in a sales and marketing role in the corporate world. I consider

My oldest son is getting married in June. He is forty years old and this is his first marriage. No, he isn’t ugly, stupid, or unmarriageable in any obvious way. He is a White. He has been in long-term relationships before, but nothing ever happened. He seemed content, and as is with many Whites, that was enough. Not so for the other halves of those relationships. Finally, he found his Blue fiancé—or to be more precise, she found him. They have been together for 3 years and it looked to me as if the relationship would be the same as the others, until one night he called to let me know that he had proposed. Stunned, I didn’t ask why, bu

One textbook definition of harmony is a situation in which there is agreement…a worthy goal for any effective work environment. However, when I hear the word harmony, I think of my husband, the choral conductor. He has developed his natural talent and acquired remarkable skills in creating harmony out of disparate student voices from years of education and experience. The process is not so dissimilar in the workplace. Using the Color Code, leaders can become talented conductors, of a sort. Understanding how various core colors interact with each other can build on your natural talents and help you acquire greater skills to minimize conflict
