Detailism vs. broader perspective

Detailism vs. broader perspective

Do you see details or the big picture? Each of us thinks differently – some focus on the minutiae, while others see things in broader contexts. Both abilities are important, and their proper utilization can lead to better decisions.

This module focuses on analyzing your thinking and how you process information. It will help you understand whether you tend to concentrate on details or perceive things in a wider context.

Understanding your own thinking – You will discover whether you are more of an analyst or a strategist.
Improving decision-making – You will learn to utilize the strengths of both approaches.
More effective problem-solving – You will identify when it is better to focus on details and when to take a broader perspective.
More flexible thinking – You will strengthen your ability to switch between both modes of perception.
Better understanding of others – You will learn to recognize how the people around you think.
