Last week I had a meeting with some HR guy. It was called my "Insights" meeting. This is where I find out what sort of manager I am. It's a little New Agey and Mood-ring-y for my liking but very interesting never the less.
There are four colours
Red = Firey, basically will kill you in a heartbeat for the sheer fun of it. AKA a real bastard.
Yellow = Fun and very light hearted, just wants to enjoy themselves and makes sure that others are enjoying themselves.
Green = A motivator, just like Mr Motivator. Has an idea and creates a lot and tries to get lots of others involved and wants everyone to work together in sweet harmony.
Blue = Is very number based, likes working on computers and dealing with excel and the like. Doesn't give 2 hoots about you or your feelings.
It doesn't take much to work out that I am a blue. I was given a report that is 40 pages long all about me and what I am like. It explains to the reader how to communicate with me and what not to do when communicating with me. It also out lines how to motivate me and basically everything you could ever want to know about me with regards to work.
The best bit is how to and not to communicate with me. Below are what they say....and the exlplination
When communicating with Craigy:
Use humour...in moderation.
Have a joke, but not at my expense for fear of my wrath
Give him all the facts
Help me to help you
Respect his position.
Respect my authorit-ah
Respect his need to be alone for extended periods.
You make me so angry that if I see you again, I'm going to go to prison.
Stay a reasonable distance away - don't invade his space.
This is a hug free zone. DON'T EVER TOUCH ME.
When communicating with Craigy DO NOT
Jump to the next subject until he is ready
Woah, woah, woah. Who did what with the when now?
Waffle
English mother f*&%er do you speak it?
Argue or personalise the conversation.
I'm right, and I don't care about you.
Spend to much time talking, he is much more impressed with your actions.
Dance monkey, DANCE!
Reinforce his own self criticism.
Yes, I'm delicate.....you know like emtionally and shit
Again some of it is true and some of it is complete nonsense, but it's interesting either way.
