Operating on All Eight Cylinders?

Do you benefit from multiple intelligences as a competitive edge at work? Would others around you say you draw much from theirs? The good news is that we each possess all eight …  in different mixes … and when we use them, they tend to serve up fine fare. MI symbols.gif
     Howard Gardner, who I’ve known personally for many years, 
identified these distinct intelligences and suggested all eight are both developed and expressed in specific tasks within each field discipline.  It’s fun to get them up and running daily, although it may feel a bit like juggling balls in a moving subway at first.
     Unlike learning styles, which suggest preferences for learning in one way or another, multiple intelligences actually exist within us, in varying degrees – whether we choose to use them or not.
     Over time, we’ll look closer here
at tactics for using each to benefit your life and business. If you were to name your best and worst intelligences, what would they be? 
    
Start with a skill you do well and one you do less well. Then see where you fit most --  in the next post on this topic….
     Think of MI as simply asking, "What really makes you tick?" A little extra gray matter onboard is usally a good thing...
