2. People come to conclusions on what they perceive by applying logic ‘thinking’; or values ‘feeling’. This is how a person makes decisions.
3. Individuals will prefer one of these four approaches, using it more frequently than the others.

When introverted leaders express the results of these processes they deliver an understanding and analysis of the facts that provides clarity and direction. Because the data is processed inwardly others may not know what the leader is thinking.
Extroverts, who prefer sensing, dig for details; those who prefer intuition recognize the future possibilities revealed in the data.
Extroverted leaders engage others in this process and arrive at conclusions after examining the data ‘out loud’. No one is surprised at the results!
