Learning the ABC of brainpower: left and right approach key to success: But don't let them laugh at techniques which work
Abstract
Purpose
The paper looks at organizations who spend significant sums of money sending top people on training programs, only to find they are reluctant to put what they have learned into practice when they get back to work.
Design/methodology/approach
Reviews an article which explains “whole‐brained” thinking and the need for team‐based “whole‐brained” learning.
Findings
The paper finds that differences among people showing A, B, C or D‐brained tendencies make it essential that there is a whole‐brained approach to strategy development and culture change.
Original/value
As regards learning, not only should it be whole‐brained but also team‐based, as building effective teams is the only way to create value out of difference, given that difference, when looked at purely from an individual perspective, tends to create negative attitudes and emotions
