EP20: Drives in Action: Understanding DRIVE-based Communication - Part 2b: Thinking Drives
Loading player...
Welcome back! Following Episode 19, where we explored the first four drives of the Thinking Domain, this episode dives into the next five: Navigator, Orientator, Skeptic, Specialist, and Visionary. Andrew and Tracy unpack how these drives influence the way individuals and teams think, decide, and communicate — and how “thinking energy” transforms into “communication energy.”
What Listeners Will Learn:
• How each of these five thinking drives influences communication and decision-making.
• How to recognise these drives in yourself and your teammates.
• Strategies to improve collaboration by aligning different thinking and communication styles.
• Common blind spots each drive faces — and how to overcome them for clearer, more effective communication.
• Practical ways to adapt your communication style depending on context, urgency, and team dynamics.
When you understand how these drives influence thinking and communication, you can build stronger, more aligned teams — turning thought into momentum and vision into action.
