How Can 'Whole Brain Thinking' Enhance Team Building Using Ned Herrmann's Approach?

Dear Friends,

A few slides on 'Whole Brain Thinking'. Use Ned Herrmann's Brain Dominant Instrument from Whole Brain Thinking. A good instrument for team building.

Hi All, I am working with an organization that has its base on "Whole Brain Thinking." I would like to add some corrections here that have not been taken into account in the PPT.

1. Quadrant A people ask "What" questions rather than "How." For example, if you are dominant in Quadrant A, and I come to you with a proposal, your immediate question will be like, "What are the costs involved? What are the profits I can make?" and so on.

2. It's Quadrant B people who ask "How" questions. For example, if I come across a Quadrant B person with an offer for a trip to Goa, his first question will be, "How will we go there? How much time will it take? How many stations will be there in between?" and so on. Quadrant C and D people ask "Who" and "Why" questions respectively.

3. After research by Dr. Kobus Neethling, a student of Paul Torrance whose studies are associated with these 4 quadrants, the quadrants have been named as L1, L2, R2, R1 rather than their respective names of A, B, C, D.

And you might be amazed to know that these 4 quadrants have been further divided into 8 dimensions to delve more into an individual's thinking preferences. Will be glad to share if someone feels like.

Take Care and God Bless!
