SHOWING COLORS IN MANAGEMENT
Training Your Management Thinking Styles
Description
People have different ways they perceive and assimilate information, make decisions, and solve problems. These so called “thinking styles” can literally change the way of working with people in an organization. As organizations become more complex, understanding the thinking styles of the people working in the organization and expanding them beyond their “regular” preferences may not be a luxury, but a necessity.
When examining successful organizations over time, it shows usually that their workforces have had to do many different tasks well, and have used a variety of different thinking styles to accomplish these tasks. A way of measuring these thinking styles can therefore help to improve the awareness and therefore the outcome and results in an organization.
The Whole brain thinking model©
The Whole Brain Model© 1(HBDI) is scientifically designed to help people learn to think better. The HBDI instrument is an instrument that is developed to measure the thinking styles and can therefore be used to focus on showing people how to use their whole brain – not just the parts with which they feel most comfortable.
The profile evaluates and depicts the degree of preference individuals have for thinking in each of four brain quadrants:
Rational - Blue /A / Upper left
Practical - Green /B / Lower left
Feeling - Red /C / Lower right
Experimental – Yellow /D / Upper right
Research has shown that everyone is capable of changing to less preferred thinking styles and learning the necessary skills to diagnose and adapt to the thinking references of others.2
People are able to present information in a way that recognizes, respects, and is compatible with different preferences This is crucial to meeting co-worker, customer, and client needs and expectations..
