IN CHARGE REDS

I love to sit in the mall or anywhere really and try to figure out what color someone is. It is just a game to me and of course, I never really find out what color the person is. But you can sure tell a lot about a person by what they wear and how they carry themselves. OK, probably a warped kind of fun but I enjoy it. For me the Reds are the easiest to pick out. They dress to take charge, they dress for power. The females love to wear spiky heels and business suits. They are the ones dressed to the tee even if they are just shopping at Wal Mart. The Greens tend to dress perfect, too, but in a more subdued sort of way. Yellows are the casual dressers, wearing t-shirts and jeans or as Holly always wears - flip flops. Blues, well, they dress for flash, bright colors and Hawaiian shirts.

The Reds are the Corporate CEOs, Business owners, Doctors, Lawyers. The powerful ones. They are the ones motivated by money and power. They want to be in control and in charge. They are the “Get the Job Done” people. They represent 15% of the population. They are the hardest ones to parent because they think THEY need to be in charge and running the show. I have only been blessed with 1 in my life and she and I bumped heads from the moment she arrived. She, even at age 3, thought she should and could run the family better than I did. I don’t think there was a day peace until she grew up and moved out.

Reds have great strengths. They are amazing producers, the best negotiators and they have energy to burn. Reds are the risk takers, the leaders and the ones with the most confidence. They take action, are independent and will just take right off and start doing things. Unfortunately, they don’t care who they have to step on to get it done. Reds do have weaknesses that they need help with. The first thing is their ego, they think they are perfect, are always right, and are the only ones with an idea even though they are not. They are domineering, short tempered and just plain unteachable. Although they always seem to get a lot done, they are the hardest to be around or work with. I personally, have a tendency to run for the hills when I encounter a RED. I think they just intimidate me.

The world is made up of all 4 colors. Nurturing Yellow, Detailed Green, Fun-loving Blue and the In Charge Red. We need them all!!! We need the Yellows to take care of us and teach everyone. We need the Greens to figure everything out and take care of all the nitty gritty details. Blues keep us balanced and get us to not take everything so seriously. Reds keep things going by telling the rest of us what to do and how to do it. The world would not function correctly if we took any one color away. We all, no matter what color we are, have value.

Michael Dlouhy is very good at teaching the different colors. He also does a monthly phone call about the Colors. If you are interested in listening to it, let me know and I will send you the info.

Have a wonderful day
And be sure to figure out your color,
