About this course
This course is intended for those who want to know how the Diversity Icebreaker categories of Red, Blue, and Green can be applied in leadership. This is one out of four video courses here at LearnFormula where Red, Blue, and Green are categories in a metaphorical model.
The Red, Blue, and Green model originated in Norway in 1995. Since then, the concept has gradually been refined into a training and developmental concept applied by more than 300 000 worldwide.
At the end of this course, you will be able to see how the Diversity Icebreaker categories of Red, Blue, and Green can be applied in multiple functions in an organization. This will empower you as a leader and others in the organization, resulting in better growth and results.
This course starts by defining the leadership role before presenting Diversity Icebreaker as a non-confidential testing tool relevant to collaboration in the workplace. Next, I present how Diversity Icebreaker has been introduced by facilitators as a test in a subsequent seminar where the participants develop an understanding of the colors Red, Blue, and Green. I offer some guidelines if you want to run this seminar yourself as a leader for your own employees.
Red is about emotions, relations, and communication. Blue preferences indicate interest in analysis, numbers, and practical issues. Green is about seeing opportunities, connections, and a global perspective.
Red, Blue, and Green describe three different cognitive and social styles. They have similarities to classical leadership dimensions like people, tasks, and change. The Red, Blue, and Green represent opposites, and the challenges are to use these dilemmas in a constructive way.
The three colors also can be used to explain and describe different work cultures in different departments in organizations. This is essential in promoting better communication and understanding across the organization. In the same way, there are also various management challenges at different management levels. An understanding of this can contribute to a better understanding of yourself and your challenges depending on where you are in your career.
People have different needs when changes are introduced. The colors can be used to understand individual differences as well as how to succeed in major strategic change processes by answering Why, What, and Who.
Red, Blue, and Green have often been perceived as team role models. I introduce the main dilemmas between people with different colors as well as what you do when you have too little color in your team.
Diversity Icebreaker is first of all a tool and model for creating a language with employees, a language that promotes learning and development. As a leader, you can give employees a language that helps them solve problems. Diversity Icebreaker as a concept invites employees to help shape the language and thereby achieve ownership that has specific positive effects in terms of their ability to solve problems together.
