When Harry met Sally. . .
It’s the stuff of situation comedy: free-spirited love child meets obsessive control freak. Ambitious law graduate flats with unemployed party animal. Artists, intellectuals and sports stars are all forced to work together on a school project.
These stories engage us because they contain plenty of dramatic tension and we can laugh as wildly different characters look at each other in mutual incomprehension. Underpinning it all is the hope that they’ll eventually see each other’s strengths and learn to collaborate so they can live happily ever after.
It’s not that different in the workplace, with one important exception: a lot more is at stake.
HBDI© Herrmann Whole Brain Thinking
The Herrmann Whole Brain Thinking model identifies four main areas of thinking processing: Rational, Practical, Feeling and Experimental. Most of us lean towards two of the four and this preference significantly affects our thinking, communication, ability to understand others, and likelihood of reaching our potential.
For ways to apply this powerful communication tool in your business, watch our video here.
Organisations think too
The Herrmann Whole Brain Thinking model can equally apply to organisations. One company might focus on financials and logistics at the expense of people and innovation, stifling growth. Another might emphasise research and development without properly safeguarding its products and intellectual property.
It’s hard to move forward when you’re off-balance.
