Do you think better when you’re relaxed or under pressure? Does competition encourage or stifle effective thinking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Time to Think<\/em>, Nancy Kline asserts that high-quality thought requires dedicated time. It also requires the right environment. She identifies three characteristics of a setting that impact how conducive the space is to good thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to learn Nancy Kline’s thinking environment recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

#1: Diversity and Equality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Nancy Kline, thinking environments should be diverse because diversity is reflective of reality. The world doesn\u2019t consist of just one type of person, so your thinking space should be filled with different kinds of people. Additionally, everyone should be on equal footing, with no one considered superior to anyone else\u2014even if some people are higher up in the organization\u2019s hierarchy. While people may have different responsibilities, everyone can be a brilliant thinker, and everyone should be given an equal opportunity to employ their brilliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Diversity and Equality Impact Organizations<\/strong>

Some people object to the idea of deliberately creating diverse groups<\/a> and organizations, suggesting that such groups don\u2019t perform as well as groups built solely with achievement in mind. However, research shows that teams perform better and engage in higher levels of thinking<\/a> when they consist of participants with a variety of backgrounds and perspectives.

To foster a greater sense of equality in meetings, experts recommend engaging all members of the group<\/a> as much as possible with hands-on, collaborative activities, changing the person who leads the meeting on a rotating basis so everyone gets a chance, and soliciting and implementing feedback from all members about how to improve future meetings. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

#2: Relaxed Atmosphere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Kline, thinking spaces should have a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that communicates to thinkers that they can take their time to do their best thinking<\/strong>. Many business executives believe that conveying urgency gets better results from their employees or group members, and some groups even fabricate a sense of urgency deliberately to get these results. But, this only leads to greater stress and less effective thinking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Some experts suggest that a lack of urgency in the workplace results in complacency and reduced productivity<\/a>, and that urgency helps with long-term planning<\/a> and problem solving, as well as improving an organization\u2019s reputation. However, others argue that a perpetual sense of urgency reduces innovation and makes employees fearful<\/a>, while also undermining employee trust in managers. This suggests that in workplace-based thinking sessions, while everyone should be given plenty of time to think and share, it may be best<\/a> to impose a time limit of some kind on the session.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#3: Cooperation, Not Competition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, your thinking environment needs to be one that encourages cooperation over competition<\/strong>. Kline explains that our society tends to exalt competition as the key to progress. However, in reality, competition doesn\u2019t guarantee that anything we do or create will actually be good: It only means our creation will be better than something else. Competition obstructs thinking because it drives us not to do well<\/em>, but just to do better<\/em> than others. <\/strong>And, by limiting our thinking to what others are already thinking, Kline says, we close ourselves off to a wide range of possibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Shortform note: Research suggests that competition can sometimes be beneficial<\/a> to creativity and innovation and that whether it\u2019s harmful or helpful depends on how it affects employees emotionally. As with urgency, fear-based competition is harmful and can increase the likelihood of unethical behavior, while competition that\u2019s driven by a feeling of excitement enhances people\u2019s work. For thinking sessions, encourage group members to think about the positive outcomes of what they\u2019re working toward, and refrain from punishing thinking you don\u2019t feel is \u201cgood enough.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Exercise: Make Your Space a Thinking Environment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For the purposes of partnered or group thinking<\/a>, use Kline\u2019s tips to create a space that\u2019s conducive to good thinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. First, consider the perspectives that are going to be represented in your session. Do you have a diverse range of viewpoints to draw from? What can you do to bring in ideas from other perspectives?<\/li>
  2. Make sure everyone in your thinking space is on equal footing. What are some potential differences in power or status between you and your thinking partner, or between members of your thinking group<\/a>, that could interfere with a sense of equality? How can you keep these differences from impacting everyone\u2019s thinking?<\/li>
  3. Now consider the physical space in which you\u2019ll be doing your thinking. Does the space convey a relaxed atmosphere? What can you add (such as a mini zen garden or a small fountain) or remove (such as a ticking clock) to make the space feel more relaxed?<\/li>
  4. Finally, how can you make sure your thinkers are coming prepared to cooperate rather than compete? How can you place emphasis on positive outcomes to get your thinkers excited about the process?<\/li><\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
