Communicating With Green Brains
Ever met someone in your life, or at your workplace, who seems conventional, conversative, and lacks imagination? Does this person plan for everything, and can’t seem to function without a checklist? How do you communicate with people who micromanages, and needs control?
Emergenetics, a science on thinking and behavioural preferences, calls this person a green brain. Green brains are structural thinkers who think practically, like guidelines, are predictable, and are cautious of new ideas.
You can tell that a person is a green brain if his writing is process-oriented, clear and detailed. As a manager, a green brain likes safety and stability, is driven by clock and productivity, brings order out of chaos and maintains clear rules and lines of authority. You can also tell that a person is a green brain because of the frequent use of the question “How?”
So how do you communicate effectively with a green Brain? Here are some tips for you.
First, check your own perception. How do you see this person? Remember to look beyond his or her behaviour. Remind yourself that this person prefers to process, guidelines and details. It’s not that this person is being difficult or fussy.
When speaking to a green brain, use phrases like “Here are more details”, “are we on schedule?” and “What does the policy say?”. Phrases like these set their minds at ease.
Knowing your own thinking and behavioural preferences, as well as that of others, allows you to overcome perceptual errors and helps you build strong relationships.
The next time you communicate with someone who frequently asks the question “how”, provide specifics, take it step by step, and keep to time.

MAKING THE RIGHT IMPACT WITH EMERGENETICS
The Emergenetics Profile provides information on four thinking preferences (Analytical, Structural, Social, Conceptual) and three behavioral styles (Expressive, Assertive, Flexibility).
Organizations who use the Emergenetics Profile are able to form more productive teams, increase understanding among co-workers, reduce conflict between people, assure more successful project implementation and develop more effective solutions to problems.
Individuals who learn their own attributes for thinking and behaving are able to communicate, sell, make presentations, teach and motivate others more effectively. Emergenetics is the result of extensive research involving over 300,000 adults. Based on the latest brain dominance research, this reliable, valid, and proven test provides insight that helps individuals best use their thinking preferences and behavior attributes.
