The barriers to critical thinking are many but the ones that I think come quickest to mind based on my personal experiences are personal biases and failure to critically listen. Making rash judgments is often the result of a failure to critically think. I will use my personal experiences to illustrate. When I was released from prison in January 2019 I returned to work for Star Market as a manager. When they rehired me I was used a trouble shooter and sent to various stores to solve problem. While this was challenging it was tiring. I asked to be assigned to a permanent store. Be careful what you wish for. I was assigned to a store near my sister's house where i was living at the time. It was a beautiful store and very busy I loved.it. My manager Mr. X was a screamer and yeller. Based on my personal experiences that s a oor communication method with me. I get very anxious. I tried to explain it calmly and cooly a number of times but no luck. Two hours later same behaviour. If I had applied critical thinking. I could have spoken with district managers, one of the other store managers or any of numerous critical approaches. Instead I put my resume on Indeed and was hired by CWS that Friday. Great result but just an example that good results don't mean a good process. I could have had a much more negative results and even thought about quitting which put me in trouble with my PO never mind the financial consequences.
