What is critical thinking?
Critical Thinking is the ability to question, inquire, analyze, verify and use data relevant to a specific goal, project or problem to be solved. It is the ability to think independent of biased views or faulty paradigms. It’s the practice of “looking beneath the surface” or gaining an understanding necessary to come to a conclusion that can be tested and tried time and time again to produce a result that is consistent, relevant and necessary for a particular goal, project or circumstance. (forgive me, I can be a bit long-winded when trying to get all my thoughts into one paragraph to explain or share a definition. I love this topic)
Why is it important?
Critical thinking is vitally important because it enables individuals to be more efficient, emotionally and intellectually aware which thereby makes them a greater contribution to any partnership, group, community and/or organization that thrives on data, diversity, growth and utilizing all to accomplish a mission that impacts lives on local, regional, national and even global scales.
Name someone famous you believe is a critical thinker.
Simon Sinek, Author of Start With Why. I have a few that I admire but he is one that I truly respect and appreciate his perspective.
Why do you think they are a critical thinker?
I believe Simon Sinek is a critical thinker because he asks questions, but not just any question. He askes question that lead to a specific answer that drives the conversation or perception to a solution that in the end we can either agree or disagree with, but somehow understand the thought process accompanied with coming to that conclusion. Just the mere fact that he can publish a book discussing the importance of “WHY” speaks volumes. I think Sinek is a critical thinker because he examines an aspect of success that many others haven’t. He looks at success not simply from the perception of data, numbers and trends, but also the authentic intentions and perceptions of the company leaders themselves. Some start with what problem to solve, what need has to be met, what trends are... but others start with why they want to solve the problem and what difference it will make if solved... Once they achieve their goal, the impact is greater. Sinek questions, analyzes and uses data in a way that requires critical thinking, not simply collecting and predicting. This is why I believe him to be a critical thinker. He Starts with WHY. 😀
