In this episode, Amy, Bernie, and Jenilee introduce the Red, Yellow, Green (RYG) model for organizations. This is a practical tool for evaluating organizational health and personal fit for cross-cultural workers. The tool helps you celebrate when your organization is a good fit. On the flip side, it also provides a way to process and name what parts may not be a good fit. They discuss its origins, practical applications, and announce availability on the Global Trellis website to support better decision-making for individuals and teams.
