After reading, A Whole New Mind, I been trying to think about me and what side of my brain I spend do I use the most. Daniel Pink suggest that left-brain (logic, linear) thinking helped human beings move from the age of machines to today's knowledge based society. According to Mr. Pink the ability to tap into the right-brain thinking( holistic,artistic)a key to success in the our future world. The ability to deal with information and facts is not be enough and won't be enough for massive levels of information we will deal with in the future. This new world that we currently are inhabiting requires us to be able to consider different perspectives and concepts more holistically.
As I consider the six aptitudes of right brain thinking (design,story, symphony,empathy,play, and need), each one of these aptitude play an important role in creating a truly collaborative environment that validate all members of the organization. As we as individuals develop and use these aptitudes more fluidly our thinking contributes to the well being and the economic of strength of an organization. The question that we must ask ourselves, What is the cost or fear in transforming ourselves into right -brain thinkers?
My own journey suggests not so much transforming as expanding--using the parts of "brain power" that lie dormant because we are more comfortable with the ones with which we are comfortable. I would echo your blog name in saying that for me there has been joy in the journey. How great to continue to learn and grow (and become wiser???).
