What does thinking have to do with results? Everything.
How we think and process information directly influences productivity, communication, decision making and problem-solving. A workplace culture that celebrates diversity of thought allows people to voice their thoughts and opinions with confidence whilst also having an appreciation of the different perspectives and thinking preferences of others.
