Colours of Leadership behaviours

Mahābhūta is Sanskrit and Pāli for "great element."In Buddhism, the "four great elements" (Pali: cattāro mahābhūtāni) are Earth, water, fire and air. Hinduism adds a fifth "great" or "gross" element: ether or Akash or Space. These  resonate in Babylonian, Japanese, Chinese, Tibetan  and Medieval alchemy in cultures and its preachings. -Source Wiki.

Well all these religions state that human body is either connected to these primary elements or made of these elements. There is also reference to these in Don Brown's Fiction "Angels and Demons".

How these are connected to people behaviors, indeed yes, for those who have taken the DISC profile and read Discovery  understand very well.

Per all these Behaviors are classified by these four colours and are Fiery RED, Sunshine Yellow, Cool Blue and Earthy Green.

The power of Insights comes through its sound Jungian psychometric background and its use of the 4 Insights colour energies.The colours make this wisdom accessible, memorable and adaptable and, very importantly, enjoyable!
These 4 energies are within us all and we all use them both consciously and less consciously depending upon Who we are, where we are, when we are and we all have different preferences for how we like to be and adapt our behavior.  However there will be a particular mix and balance of these colours where we feel most comfortable.

Not that we should have one particular energy at any given point in time, we must display these more or less or balanced based upon situations. When you want to drive results, leading the way, directing then you may choose to be Fiery RED; if you are motivating and inspiring,  then you must display Sunshine Yellow; if you are analyticall and paying attention to the details then you may chose to be cool blue; if you want to support, help the team , care, then you may display Earthy Green.

The characteristics of Leaderships change as Behavioural colours or energies change...
Fiery REDs  are - Directors or Reformers
Sunshine Yellows  - Inspirers or Motivators
Cool Blue  are - Observers, Coordinators
Earthy Green are - Helpers or Supporters.

Here is my Score Card... RED 49%, Yellow -84%, Green -53%, Blue - 44%...................
