Be a Better Critical Thinker

Many people don’t realize that having critical thinking skills does not mean thinking critically of themselves or others. To be a critical thinker means using rationality and evidence in problem-solving and decision-making. Unfortunately, that’s NOT what critical thinking is about. In fact, emotional reactivity couldn’t be more opposite from this valuable and essential life skill. Critical thinking is a way of processing information based on evidence and what we know to be true.

It’s difficult to be or become a critical thinker if you’re afraid of making mistakes. The best thinkers are those who take ideas out on a test drive and see how they do. How different the world would be if we all practiced critical thinking skills. Barring that happening, it is incumbent upon each of us to bone up on these rational, intellectual skills so that we can tell fact from fiction – to make this world a better place for ourselves, and for those who will inherit it when we are gone.

WHAT IS TEAMWORK? TEAMWORK is the process of working collaboratively with a group of people in order to achieve a goal. Teamwork is often a crucial part of a business, as it is often necessary for colleagues to work well together, trying their best in any circumstance. Teamwork means that people will try to cooperate, using their individual skills and providing constructive feedback, despite any personal conflict between individuals. A single person sometimes is not capable of making critical decisions alone and taking on big projects without the help of a team. There are many situations when a single person can see only one side of the task or problem. A team is required to see all the aspects of that task, whether good or bad and can make decisions based on everyone’s opinion.
