Are you rewarding your people correctly?
We often need to reward our children and team members.
Do we do it correctly. Let us check.
A group of students is given a set of puzzles and then they are divided in two groups.
Group A is prized for their ability and intelligence e.g. Wow, you got x number correct. That is a really good score. You must be good at this activity.
Group B is praised for their efforts. You must have worked really hard on these tasks.
During the next round, the students are given a choice of tasks.
They could choose an easier task or a challenging task from which they could learn a lot. What do you think will be the results?
Which group will choose the easier task and which would choose the challenging task? What are you rewarding your people for?

The type of thinking we do!
We engage in various types of thinking for solving different problems. Thinking is a problem solving process. A process in which we reason about something. Types of thinking, we do · Concrete thinking – When we think in terms of our perception of actual or concrete things. Also called perceptual thinking. · Conceptual thinking – When we use concepts and languages. Also called abstract thinking. · Reflective thinking – When we solve complex problems and use facts and knowledge in a logical way to arrive at the solution. · Creative thinking – When we create or construct something new or novel thing. Also called thinking out of the box. · Critical thinking - When we evaluate everything and step aside our belief system to discover the truth. · Divergent thinking – When we explore a number of alternatives. · Convergent thinking –When we combine a number of ideas to arrive at a solution. · Associative thinking – When we think which is non-directed and without a goal · Linear thinking – When we process information in a sequential manner. · Gestalt Thinking – When we see the big and whole picture.
