The 3 Questions

Three questions, three capital letters. Together they circle your colour and your place in the Team matrix — and the first of the three is the only one that can change throughout life.

Answer all three, note one capital letter for each, and your team code is those three letters.

How SGL defines the letter codes

Figur: det gule arket, 1/8
Imagine that you are the entire sheet, while your strongest and dominant trait fills 1/8 of your whole being – the Team code determines your place.

To show how different sides of our personality interact, we can imagine our personality as a blank yellow sheet of paper. Each team role takes up one-eighth of the sheet. This doesn’t mean we lose our other traits — just that some parts are more visible than others.

Flow Code: (F) and (B) — the only one that can change throughout life

(F) = Parent / the extroverted Authority — focused on challenges, responsibility and results.

(B) = Child / the introverted Skills — focused on competence and values.

Decision Axis: (S) and (L)

(S) = Stimuli / Perceiving and excitement arena — seeking challenge, change, and risk.

(L) = Judging / the Law and order arena — focused on stability, responsibility, and loyalty.

Team Function: (R) and (H)

(R) = Rescuers / Warrior to ideals, goals, and results.

(H) = Helpers / the warm-hearted people motivated by supporting and caring for others.

Summary

The four Key Performance Indicators

The key to the SGL concept lies in the toolbox with its symbols and metaphors, like Chess Roles, Temperament Colour, “Body” Language and Colour Risk Profile. Together they frame our various leadership part roles, while SGL configures you and your main behaviour in one of the four basic roles of the chess game. Before you go any further, take a moment to remember the summary overview.
