People differ in their preferences for how they process information about the world. Some people are rational thinkers while others are more intuitive. This has implications for how people approach tasks, how they communicate with others, and how they make decisions.
Using Cognitive Experiential Self-Theory as its basis for understanding how people process information, this report identifies an individual's own cognitive style and its subsequent influence on:
-
Decision making;
-
Communication;
-
Conflict resolution.
These important insights can help people understand their own tendencies and help them to adapt their own behaviours to better align with others styles. This report therefore has important uses in:
-
Leadership Development: provide insight into own and others cognitive styles in order to better manage, optimise communication and feedback, and increase performance.
-
Team Development: help teams understand the variety of cognitive styles present in their team to help improve interpersonal communication and identify areas of strength and potential blind spots.
-
Conflict Management: provide insight into own and others ways of dealing with conflict.
-
Cognitive Style Training: research shows that individuals can develop their cognitive styles so they can become more versatile thinkers through training. The feedback in this report can help individual to identify areas of their thinking which they can target.
