Left-Brain Orientation

I just read a fascinating study done by Herrman International. The study involved 311,207 businesspeople. It found that 44.2% are left-brain in orientation. 28.3% are right-brain in orientation. And 27.4% are whole-brain thinkers.

I wonder what the breakdown would be amongst church leaders?

The Great Commandment says, "Love the Lord your God with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength." We're called to love God with all of our minds. That includes the logical left-brain and creative right-brain.

I'm guessing there is a left-brain orientation among church leaders. That's one reason why I'm a right-brain advocate. We've got to unleash our creative potential if we want to reach emerging generations. We've got to do ministry out of imagination.
