Learning to distinguish and choose the right style of thinking is an art that can enhance your success, help you achieve your goals, influence others and avoid making errors. There are five basic styles of thinking: The Synthesist: Sees likeness in apparent unlikes, seeks conflict, interested in change The Idealist: Welcomes broad range of views, seeks ideal solutions The Pragmatist: "Whatever works," seeks shortest route to payoff The Analyst: Seeks "one best way," interested in scientific solutions The Realist: Relies on "facts" and expert opinions, interested in concrete results Includes a special tests to determine your own thinking style. About the Authors Robert N. Bramson has also penned Coping with Difficult People; What Your Boss Doesn't Tell You Until It's Too Late: How to Correct Behavior that is Holding You Back; and, with Susan J. Bramson, First Hired, Last Fired: How to Make Yourself Indispensable in an Age of Downsizing, Mergers, and Restructuring.
