"The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office." -Robert frost
Who Am I?
My brain
Although I use both the left and right side of my brain depending on the thought process necessary, I am most comfortable while using the left side of my brain. That means that I have structure, control, clarity, focus, direction, responsibility, organization, planning, mathematical and analytical skills, listening skills, rational and logical thinking. However, I need more spontaneity, expression, nurturing, social and interpersonal activity, imagination and creativity, artistry, holistic, abstract and conceptual thinking.
Decision Making
Behavioral Style
When making decisions I tend to follow the Behavioral style. People with that decision making style are friendly, supportive, action orientated, motivated by acceptance by peers and have a talent for buliding teams and encouraging. Others sometimes perceive my decision making as wishy-washy, too concerned about others and can't make hard decisions. The best organizational fit for my type of decision making is one that is a well designed, people oriented setting.
