Is your leadership style like one of these leaders in business?

Since I did my doctoral research (1979 to 1983) into the impact of teaching style on learning style and learning results I have based all of my speaking and consulting work on the following premises.

If I can grasp or access your basic THINKING STYLE

I can then project your basic

LEARNING, COMMUNICATING,

PROBLEM SOLVING STYLES.

From these I can then determine which

TEACHING, LEADING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, TEAM.... STYLES.

I ought to use when working with you

for us to be more successful together.

My ongoing research and experiences

with over 3100 audiences/clients have shown me that

How we THINK impacts How we LEARN

How we THINK and LEARN impact how we COMMUNICATE

How we THINK, LEARN, and COMMUNICATE impact how we

SOLVE PROBLEMS

ALL four of these impact all our human activities

LEADING, CONFLICT RESOLUTION, SELLING/BUYING, COACHING/COUNSELING.....

NOW EXPLORE WHAT ARE YOUR

GENERALLY PREFERRED "STYLES"

by completing a M.I.N.D. Design questionnaire.

Second Option...by clicking here Take this survey-2

Once your scores show, discover more detailed information about the four primary M.I.N.D. Design Styles (leading, communicating, teaming, creative thinking) by clicking on the individual style names

for the 4 primary cognitive styles

by clicking on the highlighted primary style name (blue)

you will receive the following 4 general style reports

These four reports combined will be more accurate when you look at your

individual specific point scores, for example . . .

0 - 2 = a low score or tendency to avoid

3 - 4 = a moderate score and ability to work in that style

5 - 7 = a preference

8 - 12 = a very strong preference

MEDITATIVE * INTUITIVE * NEGOTIATIVE * DIRECTIVE

your apparent MIND Design (combined scores) can greatly impact how you...

think, learn, communicate, solve problems, lead, train and deal with conflict.

M.I.N.D. Design™ An Introduction

The general use of the M.I.N.D. Design™ questionnaire is to introduce the importance of understanding the differences among people, whether in a working, volunteer, recreational, personal, or a family relationship.

The questionnaire is based on the idea that there are at least four separate ways that we can approach anything we do. The questions predominantly are descriptive of personal thinking styles.

My major premise is that if I can acquire a basic understanding how someone thinks, I then can understand how they might learn best, solve problems and communicate. Understanding these four individually or combined can help us determine how best to work with another person, one-on-one or in teams.

A person's M.I.N.D. Design™ (or Human Style) affects how they approach most things:

organizing
leading
negotiating
working
speaking/presenting
listening
etc.

__________________________________________________

Here are some questions that can be helped through understanding the principles of our M.I.N.D. Design™ scores.

Do you think your boss does things differently than you do?
Would it help you if you could understand how other people approach things at work?
Do you ever find some other people difficult to work with?
Would you like to discover how to understand basic reasons why people think, learn, solve problems or communicate differently?

Generally 67% (2/3's) of most groups have two categories combined that fit them best. Only 20 to 25% have a single category (scores of 7 or higher). The combinations usually occur in the following manner:

M&D or I&N	60 to 67%
M&I or D&N	25 to 30%
any 3	5 to 10%
all four	2 to 5%

Here are some sample differences between the 4 primary styles.

Meditative

factual
detailed
logical
one focus at a time

Intuitive

mostly creative
use hunches or guesses
strive for new ideas
many focuses or challenges at once

Negotiative

personal/friendly
very loyal
like to enjoy what they are doing
work as the spirit moves them

Directive

systematic
practical
organize
do what is scheduled or expected

___________________________________________________________

Here are some probable strengths and possible weaknesses

Meditative

get what they focus on done
very accurate and have proof
resistant to other's ideas w/o proof
seem too blunt when analyzing other's ideas

Intuitive

do very dynamic work
have many answers/possibilities
have too many ideas & not finish
move too fast for other people

Negotiative

fit in with everyone
flexible and work well with others
not want to make own decisions
too much emphasis upon fun

Directive

always finish what is expected
their solutions always work
will resist new ideas
will not be flexible from plans

__________________________________________________________

How to use the scores to give clues to the dynamics

within your workplace.

M	I
D	N

People with matching HIs will have minimum problems.
People w/ HIs vertically different (M & D or I & N) will have difficulties up to 25% of the time.
People w/ HIs horizontally different (M & I or D & N) will have difficulties up to 50% of the time.
People w/ HIs diagonally different (M & N or I & D) will have difficulties up to 75% of the time.

____________________________________________________________

My recommendations to all audiences are the following:

accept that there are many different ways to do everything
strive to understand your own
strive to accept and understand those that contradict or challenge yours
learn from differences
strengthen yours
team the strengths of other's with yours

Conventional thinking in a culture, country or company or even a family says that there is a specific "correct" way of doing everything, either ours or someone else's. It is because of this CT that we create most of our problems.

Acceptance, understanding and teaming the best of each will always bring the greatest success. Tolerating only implies that the one who is tolerating is superior.

A Presbyterian minister shared the following insights with me years ago:
The four gospels describe Jesus in four separate manners and they match the four primary categories of the Mind Design

Meditative - MATHEW

Jesus as the Seer
Logical, rational
Mood: Optimism
Sanguine
Color: Red

Intuitive - JOHN

Jesus as the Clown/Magician
creative, intuitive
Mood: Self-Containment
Plegnate
Color: Green

Negotiative - LUKE

Jesus the Exorcist
(critical of the unfaithful)
Systematic, Ordered or organized, righteous
Mood: Angry, forceful
Coleric
Color: Yellow (orange)

Directive - MARK

Jesus the Healer-the lamb
spiritual, communal, forgiving
guide, aide, the leader yet one of the flock
Mood: Varied
Melancholy
Color: Blue

Overall General Notes

What causes us to develop or choose a Mind Design or "Human Style?"

personalities we are born with
families
education - type, amount, importance of
friends
experiences
occupations
beliefs
religions
where we grew up
and nearly everything else about our lives

Can we change?

Yes, but it is better to learn to appreciate the one we have, develop our strengths and add some of the strengths of the others.

Generally maximizing one or two approaches or Mind Design categories produces success.

As a leader, teacher, parent, coach, friend it is better for us to become comfortable with our M.I.N.D. Design™ ("Human Style") and to learn how to modify ours slightly enough to develop understanding and rapport with people who have different ones than it is to expect all other people to change to match us.

Learn how to develop the strengths of your preferred and most natural

Leading Style.
