Color and Targets

What are your blue security values? How do you get red belongings? Why does yellow energy make trust? From a leadership perspective, the task at hand decides the communication level — and the kind of leadership it will take.

The Trippel-Test

  • What are your blue security values?
  • How do you get red and creative belongings?
  • Why do quality and yellow energy make trust?

By energy level

Colors and their targets

Different communication levels can be illustrated through colours and energy levels:

Green — harmony, flow, and balance. Energy follows calm, trust, and maturity.

Brown (15–22 points) — practical, hands on. Communication is fact-based. Create creatively weathering culture.

Blue (23–30 points) — task-oriented and analytical. Communication is clear and structured. Use creatively known culture.

Red (30–36 points) — delegated and emotionally driven. Communication is engaging and interactive. Create creatively new and unknown culture.

Yellow (37–45 points) — visionary and innovative. Communication is inspiring, open and future-oriented. Discover creatively ‘hidden’ culture.

Green is the level the list above puts at the top. It is also the cheapest one to reach.

Beyond the office

Value Creation, at scale

A value-creating organisation differs from a goal-driven organisation mainly by expanding the creative space — moving beyond a single office or production site to a digital ‘intranet’ workspace where the whole world becomes a potential arena for collaboration.

In practice, this means that boundaries dissolve. A modern company often acts as a coordinator of services within a value-creation chain that is neither locally fixed nor organisationally limited. Instead, it consists of independent experts, AI-partners and process owners, each contributing their part of the total value.

This kind of value creation can appear chaotic — full of contracts, agreements, and quality systems — much like a construction site where different craftsmen from various firms come and go. The key to success is common goals and common values, led by a dedicated unifying project leader or supervisor.

Leadership

Communication Levels and Value Creation

From a leadership perspective, the ‘task at hand’ determines the communication level and the kind of leadership required.

  • The more complex and creative the challenge, the higher the communication competence needed.
  • In the SGL concept, this is reflected in the Three Communication Steps and the Trippel-Test, which help leaders identify and balance their team’s communication dynamics.

Our experience shows that an organisation’s communication culture strongly influences both creativity and value creation.

But more about TTT in Secret 8,3 — The-Trippel-Test.

Your turn

Home Lesson 8,2

I found this carved group of musicians on a garden gate in Portugal. Your own workplace can be compared to such a group.

  • How well-coordinated are you, and how good do you think you can be, on a scale of 0–45 points?
  • Take the result with you to Secret 8,3, where you’ll score all fifteen conditions for real.
