The true colors activity is an unique excerise that is applicable in this scholars organization because it helps for everyone to learn basic characteristics of the groups members and helps to give a motive to their actions. With the introduction of a motive I believe that everyone can better understand the actions an individual preforms. When everyone is able to understand each other on a more complete basis it allows for the group to function at a higher level which in return makes the group more effective. I believe that the group activity would work well with any group but mainly professional groups because it would allow you to understand your coworkers more. It would allow individuals to understand each other’s motives and peeves which in return would allow the work force to function at a higher and more effective level due to the increase in chemistry between the employees.
It allows people the ability to understand each other because it breaks individuals into four classes, each with their own stereotypes and characteristics that are broad and easily identifiable. By understanding these characteristics it allows an individual to understand each perceived person easier due to them having a baseline to judge them. It also allows the ability to build groups based on the four classes which in return can lead to groups that have a higher rate of function. By understanding each other’s personalities it can lead to a deeper understanding that will allow for a greater amount of success in a group or team.
