Red, Yellow, Green Evaluation Keeps You on Track At the end of each chapter is an evaluation tool. You can rate how your organization is doing relative to the component of financial leadership covered in each chapter. Each attribute is scored as being red, yellow, or green. Red items are below standard and require immediate attention; yellow items are widely practiced though not generally ideal; and green items are considered best practice. Over time, as you and your partners on the board and staff move the organization toward green in each of these areas, you will create an environment in which financial leadership can flourish.
