Improve Decision Making with Critical Thinking

Critical thinking skills are extremely important when it comes to effective decision making. People are frequently in workplace situations where they need to apply critical thinking to solve complex problems. If a person can analyze the problem and come up with an effective solution, success will be achieved.

The Fundamental Skills of Critical Thinking

There are three fundamental skills for engaging in effective critical thinking:

• Ability to Reason. Applying systematic, logical reasoning to an issue is crucial to spot flaws, mistakes, or inconsistencies in logic or reasoning.
• Ability to Predict. The ability to identify consequences of any potential conclusion or course of action is crucial—especially negative or unintended consequences.
• Ability to Evaluate. Assessing the merit of a conclusion by asking questions is an important component of critical thinking.

Applying these three fundamentals will make your critical thinking and decision making skills more effective, leading to many benefits. You will be able to communicate more effectively with teammates, improve customer service strategies, and predict the consequences of new actions or events. These skills are all valuable assets in today’s fast-paced world.
