Insights Wheel®

As required by my professor, I supposed to complete a blog every week; however, last weekend I completely forgot to accomplish this, so here I am trying to catch up and post two this weekend. A few weeks back, we had a class discussion regarding The Insights Wheel. This wheel is grouped into four categories: Explorers, Organizers, Controllers, and Advisers. Each category represents a color (blue, red, yellow, and green) of leadership energies, approach to tasks, and key skills and attributes. The approach to task varies from “doing it now, getting it started, doing it together, to doing it carefully and correctly.”

Blue (cautious, precise, deliberate, questioning, formal, indecisive, suspicious, cold, reserved)

Red (competitive, demanding, determined, strong-willed, purposeful, aggressive, controlling, driving, overbearing, intolerant)

Yellow (sociable, dynamic, demonstrative, enthusiastic, persuasive, excitable, frantic, indiscreet, flamboyant, hasty)

Green (caring, encouraging, sharing, patient, relaxed, docile, bland, plodding, reliant, stubborn)
