Critical Thinking: Take a moment to reflect on your thinking process. What areas of your thinking do you feel you are strong in? How have these skills helped you?

Everyone has been, is and can be a good critical thinker! Our goal is to discover WHAT skills create a lifelong and conscious critical thinker. Good News Is:

Critical Thinking: The act of reassessing or challenging your thinking process/ abilities (tools) so that you can think…. accurately AND efficiently.

Must keep in mind two perspectives: The human mind is AMAZING Limited to some degree Make mistakes if not careful Influenced BY outside sources too The human mind is NOT perfect BUT • Capable of multitasking • Able to process info quickly and intuitively • Able to adapt when needed

10+1= ? What is the answer?

A bat and ball cost $1.10The bat costs one dollar more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? What is the answer?

First answer: 11 Second answer: five cents More than 50% of students at Harvard, MIT and Princeton got the bat-and-ball puzzle incorrect. More than 80% of other universities had the incorrect answer as well. * Must be “one dollar more” $1.05 + $.05 = $1.10 *Thinking Fast and Slow by DanielKahneman, 2011

Two of the biggest barriers to critical thinking: Not keeping in mind that we can be wrong or make mistakes! Assuming that mistakes and being wrong is simply a bad thing!

Considering Critical Thinking: • What specific benefits can this balance in thinking and action have for you in your management position? • How will it help you do your job better? Or what issues/problems can it help you avoid?

Considering Critical Thinking: What specific goals can you set in order to achieve that balance in thinking and action for you and your employees? Improve Efficiency Improve Accuracy • Clear expectations • Classes or training • Meetings/conferences/mentors • Allow time to learn/take risks • Clear deadlines • Meetings/check-ins • Set limits on time/resources • Provide organizational tools or methods

We can vastly improve our critical thinking (skills) if we remember: • The balance between being accurate and efficient. • The mind is amazing but not 100% perfect to avoid overconfidence. • To continually reassess and challenge our thinking process in each situation.
