Reflecting and Synthesising

The Challenges of needing to Reflect and Synthesise

  • processing complex thoughts and communicating only the conclusion can confuse those who do not follow the reasoning

  • while introverts are reflecting, they can appear to be doing nothing - this can create an impression of disengagement

  • even though a longer period of reflection can result in a better response, sometimes a quick response is felt to be needed
