Grid Dimensions

The last couple of times I have done my standard Birkman workshop, it has struck me that what we say about the vertical, "Communication style", dimension, is also true of the horizontal, "Task focus", dimension. (And in saying this, I realise that I may be the last person on the planet to notice this)

In other words, going top to bottom we go from DIRECT to INDIRECT Communication style; and likewise, going from left to right, we go from DIRECT to INDIRECT Focus on Task. (Because focussing on people and process to get a task done is the indirect equivalent of "just getting on with the task").

Any benefits from seeing things this way? Only that this makes Blues "double indirect" and Reds "double direct". Turn any lights on? Yellows and greens are one of each - and that too feels about right. Or is it just me?
