After the alphabet was invented, however, the images gave way to linear sequencing. That meant that comprehension, instead of occurring in the right brain, began occurring in piecemeal fashion in the left brain." |

| On a larger scale, the difference between left-brain and right-brain thinking can be seen in how a quality program is designed. Left-brain thinkers tend to value a cradle-to-grave quality program... Right-brain thinkers often value the input of the employees working in the process. |

| If you are right-brain dominant, you must recognize the usefulness of left-brain thinking and appreciate the need to pause and pay attention to planning and organizing data and systems.

Scientists have been aware of the specialized functioning of the hemispheres—also known as lateralization—for over one hundred years, having discovered that language skills are controlled by the left side of the brain in approximately 95 percent of right-handed people and about two thirds of left-handed individuals. |

| Other general characteristics of right-brain thought processes include the tendency to synthesize rather than analyze, and to relate to things in a concrete rather than a symbolic fashion. Where left-brain thinking tends to represent wholes by abstraction (using one piece of information to represent something larger), the right brain is more likely to interpret data through analogies |
