What Kind of Thinker Are You? (part 1 of 4)

Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to You. Psalms 143:8 The result of trying to function in a role for which you aren’t mentally wired is going to be distress and dysfunction. Each one of us is born with a built in thinking wavelength, a way of organizing the world, tolerating change, and juggling variables. We must recognize that we may have a thinking wavelength that may or may not be the same as the person we married, our supervisor, those we manage, or others we regularly interact with. The thinking wavelength is directly related to the work you are going to do successfully. The continuum, is from left administrative/operational) to development/strategic), the categories are grinders, minders, keepers, finders, and theorists. Today we will explore the work of the “Grinders”… Grinders get the work done. They are detailed minded doers. The world cannot operate without grinders. They provide the basic labor force for the entire world and all it operations. A company is likely to be successful only in direct proportion to the productivity, quality, efficiency , and morale of its grinders. They are the ultimate concrete thinkers. Grinders have the following tendencies: document things, get the work done, are risk-adverse, like few variables, take one step at a time, have a low tolerance for ambiguity, understand tasks and the need to solve problems, handle administrative details well, and deliver working drawings. Positions usually best occupied by grinders include: corporate meeting planner, mechanic, administrative assistant, bookkeeper, and factory worker. Your thinking wavelength defines the type of roles that will make you most fulfilled, least stressed, and most successful. What is your thinking wavelength?
