Speaking to Blue, The Eco-Manager

Here Barrett talks about how to best interact with the "Blue" stage of development. The blue stage indicates a worldview that is mythic, and mythic worldviews are always held as absolute (this stage of development is often called absolutistic). Instead of "might makes right," blue ethics are more oriented to the group, but one that extends only to "my group." Grade school and high school kids usually exhibit blue motivations to fit in. Blue ethics help to control the impulsiveness and narcissism of red. Culturally, blue worldviews can be seen in fundamentalism (my God is right no matter what); extreme patriotism (my country is right no matter what); and ethnocentrism (my people are right no matter what). Listen in to learn how to communicate with a person at this level of development.
