The importance of critical thinking in decision making

Having a critical thought and thinking basically means being willing to change your mind at any time, as long as it makes sense!

Critical thinking serves to find a solution! The important thing is the exchange of ideas and the debate on the themes so that through the sharing of ideas and opinions together achieve an effective and valuable solution!

It allows us to choose the relevant information, these skills are important because they allow us to filter and choose the relevant information within the large flow of stimuli that we receive.

What is critical thinking and when should we use it, according to Tom Chatfield, British author and philosopher specializing in new technologies?

What does critical thinking mean in the business context?

Above all, it means not taking things as certainties.

• To think critically is to pause and think twice;
• It is to reassess the assumptions that we make quickly and implicitly;
• Present reasoned arguments for what we think is happening;
• Be prepared to change your mind in the light of new knowledge.

Critical thinking does not neglect to take into account the other's point of view!

Because it has to do with the emotional and collaborative aspects, which are also important in creativity.

In critical thinking, collaboration comes in order to accept different opinions and at the same time, accepting the rule of the game even when you lose.

The rule of the game must dictate what is true or false and not who has more power.

A person with good critical reasoning has the emotional maturity to precisely understand the point of view that he does not like.

That is why, it is a skill that does not involve only intelligence, it is hybrid because it includes socio-emotional aspects.
