What’s Your Remote Working Style?

Behaviour describes the way we might act, or how we might prefer to approach a task or make a decision. But our preferred style of behaviour also gives us some valuable clues as to how we might lead, where we get our energy from or our best ideas, what we find hard and how we might best create our ideal environment when working from home or in the office.

Colourful Remote Working Styles:

The Colour Works uses Insights Discovery to help create vibrant working dynamics with a range of coaching and development offers. We’ve broken down the remote working styles based on the colour energies… are you Sunshine Yellow? Cool Blue?

If you haven’t taken part in Insights Discovery, our interactive game will help you identify your personality type.

Fiery Red Energies Remote Working Style:

• Fast-paced and action-oriented
• Self-reliant, likes being in control
• May over-prioritise work at the expense of team / family social time

Sunshine Yellow Energies Remote Working Style:

• Sociable and engaging – will want regular social contact
• Enthusiastic and idealistic while positive – cynical if rejected
• Likes variety and new initiatives – needs to stay focused, though

Earth Green Energies Remote Working Style:

• Patient, organised and steady
• Wanting to be of service and to care for and support others
• Will miss intimate connections if living alone

Cool Blue Energies Remote Working Style:

• Structured, disciplined and organised
• Becomes fully immersed in projects, placing high value on completing them
• May become frustrated when information isn’t forthcoming from others in a timely fashion

To conclude, if there are people in your team that share the same style of behaviour as you, it’s likely that you might naturally appreciate them more than those who demonstrate a very different style. This can unconsciously create silos, so be careful not to avoid those who do things differently to you, or dismiss their opinions – after all, they’re brilliant at all the things that might challenge you.
