Overview
Every position, no matter the responsibility level, requires some type of decision-making.
In order to make the best choices, critical thinking needs to be activated and refined. Knowing and understanding are not always enough to follow through with problem- solving. Being able to create, evaluate, analyze and apply solutions are valuable skills as well. Asking questions is not a negative critique but rather an opened channel towards process betterment.
This course also discusses the role of the brain's frontal lobe and how to prepare our brains for critical thinking. Recognizing the importance of critical thinking skills, encouraging independent discernment, and empowering your staff to cultivate these rational observation skills will produce progressive and valuable ideas, solutions, and end results.
After this course, attendees will be able to build critical thinking skills to help:
- Make better decision
- Recognize faulty reasoning
- Be more persuasive
- Communicate more clearly
- Be more empathetic
- More easily stand up for beliefs
