It was a very stressful Friday for me in the office.
I was in a conference call with a major client, who comprised 50% of our business. My goal was to ensure that we could reasonably accommodate the client’s request and maintain our company’s objective in the meantime. This client got our attention lately by getting involved in detail understanding of our backend operation, and nosing in on our latest system development. Some of the project leaders were already annoyed by the additional pressure this client created, as the project team itself was also under tremendous pressure to meet the target. However, under no circumstance should we lose a good relationship with this client. Their share of the business has too major of an impact. I’ve met a few times with this client since I step in to manage their account, and I’ve found them very reasonable. And then came this prema donna. She was one of the project leaders, and yet she was even more dominant than her project manager boss. She was the heart and soul of the current project stage, and hence her attitude flared up even more. The amazing thing was, she kept up that attitude even in that client conference call. In several occasions, I almost fainted when she shouted into the phone. So much for the good client relationship I’ve built. :x
I am a Blue person. Relationship and meaning are two primary drivers of my type of personality. In the above situation, I was more stressed about the potential breaking with the client than the technical issues at hand. Whereas for the Gold prema donna, her focus was on what was supposed to be done, what her duty was, and not so much who she was talking to. In the past, I would have been so upset about the situation that I would immediately take action to mend the relationship with the client, give the prema donna a slap on the wrist and be unhappy the rest of the night that the harmony in the office was breached.
Not any more. Because this is what a Blue person needs to do: toughen up and ignore relationship trouble some time.
What is a Blue person then. They were sometime called the idealists. The idealist personality values harmony in the surroundings, meaning in life, and significance in their accomplishments. They value human relationship more than any other type of personality, and hence they have the greatest empathy of all. If you find someone who seems to understand you well when you talk, that person is likely to be a Blue.
Of course, with a sensitive heart comes a bleeding heart too. Some time, people see the more prominent Blue type person as timid, fragile or too self-conscious. This is explainable as the Blue person will always try to do their best to maintain peace, sometime at a cost of justice and rational.
Authenticity is also important for a Blue person. The superficial beauty fades fast with a Blue person if there is no deeper substance or benevolent characters.
It is hard for a Blue person not to think about the question, ‘why am I doing this?’, even at a young age for the more prominent Blue’s. These self-reflectors are some of the greatest spiritualists or religious mentors.
When the Blue feels passionate about certain thing, they are the best salesmen in the world. Not only that they make you believe in the goodness of that prospect, they make you feel that you need it. So, the timid Blue is not so timid after all. It just depends on if the situation calls for it.
Love for nature, love for life, love for peace and love to improve others, there’s your Blue personality. Maybe GREEN PEACE should be called BLUE PEACE instead… :lol:
