This means that typically Business &amp; Sales Managers have a noteable higher drive to come into action, make decisions, set priorities and exhibit a far higher conflict avoidance.<\/p><p id=\"ember1375\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\">Also worth noting are the differences on RED -\/- (Rejections) between the Starter profile and Business\/Sales Managers is far less significant. This could be a clear indication that Sales and Business Managers themselves also do not like to be pushed or micro-managed by their shareholders or business directors. Although this is to a lesser (15%) extent than that of the Gen Z cohort (Starters)<\/p><p id=\"ember1376\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\">Given these distinctions on Motivation profiles of Gen Z in Sales (Starters) versus Gen X (Business and Sales managers), first we should acknowledge that we cannot simply change an entire generation.

Here is what he had to say:<\/p><p id=\"ember1383\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\">\u201c<em>RED behaviour, both on RED+ as well as RED-, continues to be perceived negatively. Whereas getting things in motion is a crucial part of a company\u2019s success. If we all aim to only reach goals, seen in the much-liked ORANGE colour, we will never move the company from A to B in the desired pace. Because what is there to reach (ORANGE) if you haven\u2019t kicked off something in the first place (RED), right?<\/em><\/p><p id=\"ember1384\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\"><em>From my point of view, making employees feel responsible for their task and go beyond what they would normally do (make the most out of every day) requires clear communication, people management skills and a clear structure around agreements and deadlines; alignment of what good look like. This will more and more be reflected in other colours such as green, blue and even yellow as flexibility and creativity are also needed.<\/em><\/p><p id=\"ember1385\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\"><em>This does mean we tend to shy away from the RED. The allergy that we see on RED- is, in my view, simply the desire from all of us to be treated with respect and not one directionally being told to do what someone else wants you to do. But if the heat is one, employees will still very much appreciate the leader to take the lead and show red behaviour.<\/em><\/p><p id=\"ember1386\" class=\"ember-view reader-content-blocks__paragraph\"><em>The paradox of this all is that we need RED+ behaviour and we want to see it in others <\/em><strong><em>if<\/em><\/strong><em> it benefits us.
