THINKING STYLES
Work Better Together by Thinking Better Together
New ways of working start with new ways of thinking.
The Thinking Styles model enables you to bring greater consciousness to your thinking, and use thinking itself as a currency for collaboration.
Teams can use Thinking Styles to achieve greater cognitive diversity and more productive collaboration.
Note that Thinking Styles are unrelated to personality. We use all of the Thinking Styles at different times. The point is to use the right thinking in the right context. We tend to favor some styles more than others, so need to be aware of our natural inclinations and leverage the complementary styles of others.
