Are you positively charged?

by Rick Baker
On Dec 4, 2012

Spirited Leaders has a colour code:

Green = Good

Red = Bad

Blue = New

Orange = Creative

Gray = Neutral or Undetermined

 

We use a Minus10-to-Plus10 Scale to describe a spectrum of feelings:

 Sheer Bliss: Plus10

Enthusiasm Zone: Plus7 to Plus9

Enjoyment Zone: Plus4 to Plus7

Acceptance Zone: Plus1 to Plus4

Ho-Hum: 0

Uncomfortable Zone: Minus1 to Minus4

Distress Zone: Minus4 to Minus7
  
Excruciation Zone: Minus7 to Minus9
 
Absolutely Unbearable: Minus10

 

We believe people only do three things: Good Habits, Bad Habits, & New Things:

Good work habits, work enjoyment, and work enthusiasm...all are positively charged.

Related to this there are specific positive and negative emotions, emotions are coloured.

We know words are also positively and negatively charged. As examples:

CAN    CAN'T

YES    NO

AND    BUT

CERTAINLY    PERHAPS

GO    STOP

ENCOURAGE    CRITICIZE

When we go to work, we have a number of choices to make about how we feel, think, and act.

Some of those choices are positively charged.

Some of those choices are negatively charged.

When choices are to be made...we recommend, changing for the better.
