Embracing neurodiversity and different ways of thinking, more often than not leads to innovative and successful organisations. One simple clue to understanding your own thinking style is to ask whether you’re “drama club” or “chess club”.
The "chess club" represents an analytical approach to problem-solving, while "drama club" is about big picture and storytelling. Implementing both thinking styles makes for a more balanced and effective approach to leadership and decision-making.
Sally Bridgeland has a unique perspective and ability to bridge the gap between approaches, and in this discussion with Julia, highlights the importance of understanding the value of each individual's perception of reality.
By encouraging diverse thinking and creating an inclusive environment, we can tap into the full potential of individuals and drive long-term positive change. If we don’t, we limit the range of perspectives and approaches to problem-solving available to us.
