Editor's Notes
<Put up first level answers only>
As you can see, it seems to be the people issues
<Second level wordings>
There are simple solutions/rules to assist successful change - how do you score so far???
Hippocrates was born around 460BC
Known as the father of modern medicine – was the first to dismiss the belief that illness was caused by curses, evil spirits or the will of the gods – but by physical problems with the body itself
He was also the first to theorise that thoughts and feelings came from the brain and not the heart
He also was the first to notice that people had different behavioural traits – which he believed were caused by excesses of bodily fluids.
Nothing of Hippocrates writings survive but his work was taken and expanded on by Aristotle and Plato and eventually by a Roman physician called Galen, (AD 190) who came up with the ‘choleric’, ‘sanguine’ etc labels.
The Four Humours theories were still believed up until the 1840’s (1865 in America) and blood letting, emetics, blistering, purges etc were used to treat illnesses by attempting to address imbalances in the humours.
Human Behaviour
Hippocrates saw a basic four behaviours which were adopted and described as Choleric, Sanguine, Phlegmatic and Melancholic. He also grouped together the types of behaviour that these types of people could be predicted to show.
Jung the psychologist picked up on these behavioural types and studied them carefully and it is his work on which the colour model is based.
Which type are you? Fiery Red? Sunshine Yellow? Earth Green? Cool Blue? Or perhaps you see yourself as a combination?
Whichever you are – recognise that your clients may be another type altogether – making their behaviour and reactions very different to your own.
Handout on Colourful Planning
You will have your own planning processes and preferred models
Here is a colour model that maximises the skills of the team and your people.

Ipsative and Normative data
Ipsative is self reporting – how you see yourself in relation to the statements
Normative data is comparative to others
The profiles are therefore self reported but compared to other types

What can we do more of to improve working relationships?Foot on the peddle – foot off
Sounds simple doesn’t it.
Not a new model – been around for ages
However, the reason so many people get it wrong is that they do it in one particular way – THEIR WAY!
Are we playing chess or snakes and ladders?
Utilise the skills of the team and the staff.
Do the above in a way that engages all 4 colour energies.
