Just like the same way as the styles of governments the style through which the people indulge in
self mental government have are also different (Cheek and Norem 2017). There are primarily four
form of thinking styles primarily the monarchic, the hierarchic, the oligarchic, and the anarchic
(Monga and Hsu 2018). Those people who have the monarchic style of thinking in relation to
mental governance are single minded and are often motivated by a sole goal (Yuan, Zhang and
Fu 2017). They tend to solve the problems by observing total commitment and do not care about
the obstacles. These people do not set more than one goal at a time and until one goal is not
completed they do not shift to the other goals (Low and Day 2017). These people have the
tendency of working alone (Hsu et al. 2017). On the other hand those people who have a
hierarchic style want to work for the purpose of achieving various goals within a specific time
period (Mitchell et al., 2017). They engage in work activities in a way through which they can
prioritize which goal to pursue first (Ji et al. 2018). These people are organized and systematic
with respect to solving the problems and making decisions (Duffy et al 2017). The people who
have the anarchic style of thinking work for those goals which are often difficult for other
peoples to achieve along with themselves (Gu, Wang and Mason 2017). They have random
approaches in relation to the problems and are gifted with a potential of creativity which is not
present in others (Walters and Yurvati 2017). The final form of thinking style is that of oligarchic
(Jaworski and Kohli 2017). Those people who have such style of thinking want to work for
multiple goals at the same time and have difficulties in deciding that which goal they want to
pursue (Putnam, Lamm and Lundy 2017). These people are sometimes very organized and are
not sure what they and how they want to do (Uygun and Kunt 2017). In addition to the form of

styles there are also thinking scopes which is different in relation to different people. These are
basically internal scope and external scope (Islamoğlu, Atan and Ünver 2017). The internal scope
of thinking is that where the people are introvert, less sensitive socially to other people and are
task oriented. They do not gave interpersonal awareness as no emphasis is placed on it by them.
These people want to work individually are not team players. On the other hand those people
who have the external scope of thinking style are usually people oriented, more sensitive socially
and are aware interpersonally (Lamia and Mohamed 2018). They tend to work with other people
to achieve their goals. These people can work very effectively within a team. When it comes to
the form of thinking I prefer hierarchic style of thinking. This is because I am able to set multiple
goals at a time and select the goals which are more important to achieve first. The style of
thinking helps me to address the problems in a logical manner and ensure that I am able to
effectively deal with them. As I am an extrovert and I prefer to work in a team I have prefer the
external scope of thinking. Through this scope I am able to achieve may goals together while
seeking and providing help at the same time.

I have been provided the role of purchasing a property for Farnsworth Property Trust which
belongs to Pashendale Holdings Ltd. This means that I have to negotiate a purchase. While
negotiating a purchase it has to be ensured that all strengths and weaknesses of the seller have to
be considered. Several goals have to be set in order to carry out the purchase including
investigation and valuation. Thus in this situation my style of thinking which is the hierarchic
style of thinking will help me to set many goals and prioritize the goals which I need to resolve
first. The external thinking scope will also allow me to work in teams to get the set goals.
