it's important to understand that each person is wired differently and that two people may not always reach the same conclusion or decision. In organisations and in the real world, we need to work with multiple people; the efficiency of an organization depends on how well they collaborate and who is handling which tasks.
Some scientists believe our brains are divided into two parts: the left brain and the right brain. The left brain is creative and doesn't require logic to create anything; it's more emotionally driven. The right brain is more logical and looks for facts and evidence. In any organization, the biggest challenge is to keep these two types of people in harmony.
Understanding human brain variations can help in the workplace and in business. For example, Ray Dalio of Bridgewater Associates created baseball cards for each employee, with attributes like “conceptual”, “reliable”, “creative” and “determined”. He created a system to have people rate each other. Those with the highest ratings in each dimension had more influence in the ratings of others.
We can use this system in our everyday life. When we meet someone, we need to consider what their baseball card ratings are in a particular area. If they rate higher than others, they are likely someone you should listen to.
