Leadership and Critical Thinking
|
Critical thinking skills drive strategic thinking, the ability to create a vision, and the ability to understand the total enterprise and how parts work together. Leaders need to be able to comfortably climb to the 30,000 foot view and analyse a dynamic system, while simultaneously and adeptly analysing information to quickly make decisions across levels. It is not an easy task. Improved critical thinking skills lead to more effective problem-solving, well-reasoned decisions, improved strategic thinking and better planning and implementation. |
