EFFECTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING

• Left Brain

• Right Brain

Page 12: Bs ii module 3

Amity School of BusinessEFFECTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING

Left Brain• Follows a logical pattern

• Is objective, rather than subjective

• Views time chronologically, minute by minute, hour by hour

• Sees things as true or false, black or white

• Seeks the detail, sees the trees rather than the forest

• Houses short-term memory

• Thinks critically, perhaps negatively, asks “why?”.

Amity School of BusinessEFFECTIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING

Right Brain• Follows intuitive hunches

• Creates patterns, without following a step-by-step process

• Is subjective, rather than objective

• Views time in a total sense – a lifetime, career, project

• Sees the forest, rather than the trees

• Thinks positively, unconstrained by preconceived ideas

• Asks “why not?”, breaks rules
