Four Colours – signposts for your personality and the right job

Malta Independent Wednesday, 25 February 2009, 00:00 Last update: about 16 years ago

How would you assess yourself: are you rather strong willed and ambitious (= red), inspiring and persuasive (= yellow), consistent and steady (= green) or rather cautious and systematic (= blue)?

You don’t know exactly?

Well, you’d better, because every job requires specific character-attributes and you need to like what you do in order to do it well! People who lack this inner relationship between task and personality may be heading for inner conflicts, stress and even burnout!

Or inversely, you are searching for the best person to fill a vacancy in your organisation; you check skills and vocational experience of the applicants and hope that this is quite sufficient. Often enough it is not and to your great disappointment your new recruit turns out not to be the enhancement you needed. Why?

“Skills can be learned any time on the job, but personality, values and character remain very stable, and they are the main drivers of behaviour, on the job or elsewhere,” says Peter Bolech, former CEO of Malta International Airport and now CEO of BEAM Coaching and Consulting Ltd. (www.beam-coaching.com).
