Thinking – or reasoning – involves objectively connecting present beliefs with evidence in order to believe something else but Critical Thinking is a deliberate meta-cognitive (thinking about the thinking) and cognitive (thinking) act whereby a person reflects on the quality of the reasoning process simultaneously while reasoning to a conclusion. The thinker has two equally important goals: coming to a solution and improving the way she or he reasons to arrive at the best conclusion.

Therefore, successful business organizations recognize that critical thinking and creative solutions significantly enhance employees’ leadership capabilities, business results and business potential. In this course, you will develop your skills as a critical thinker and problem solver and recognize and leverage your thinking preferences, as well as those on your team, to find different solutions to everyday problems.
