MIND Design Communication Styles, a tool for leading in today's workplaces
We all begin with an initial style of thinking that impacts all other things we do to form our over all styles or what I call MIND Designs.
We can expand them, enrich them, add to them. I strongly recommend that we do not try to change ours or other people's styles.
One of my main points in my speeches, workshops and university courses is that we will all benefit by
accepting rather than rejecting other styles
striving to understand instead of mis-understanding other styles
work at benefitting from rather than avoiding other styles
strengthen and expanding our styles into the missing ones instead of challenging what we do not prefer or feel comfortable with
maximize our strengths rather than change ours
add skills from the others
team up with people who have other styles instead of objecting to them
Hope this is helpful too as you improve your skills of leading, communicating, teaming and cre8ng.
