Whole Brain Model

What is the whole brain model

Well, this is a model used to yze personal and organizational preference with regard to thinking

It's an alternative model to the left brain, right brain model that's so commonly used

Basically, it looks at what comes natural to an individual in a given situation based on any number of factors

their experience, their life, their tendencies, that type of thing. And what it does, it groups decision-making models into four styles or four quadrants within the model

The first is the logician, which is logic-based, that you're very organized, very processed in how you think through things, very rational

The organizer, who is more administrative in nature that seeks to group things, organize things fully as part of the decision-making process

the communicator who tends to be more interpersonal with others seeking feedback, discussing

something and having the conversation about it, and then the visionary who seeks to look for

novel ways or creative approaches or things that other people don't see in a given situation

Now, any excessive amount of time spent in any one of these thinking styles creates a dominant

thinking preference. And so you would be categorized then based upon the extent to which you have a

dominant preference and that preference ultimately affects your overall approach towards decision-making problems and how you think about situations

So organizations and individuals use this model to help understand how problems are

approaches and how the mental process is carried out when evaluating a decision

or a situation or scenario
