At this remarkable five-hour live virtual seminar, piloted by Paul A. Douglas

MBA, CMC, Ph.D., author of Critical Thinking and Influential Leadership, you will learn to think more rationally while refuting logical fallacies and biases. Critical thinking has always been a prized attribute in management, however, to truly excel as a leader in the 21st Century, it is an imperative. Critical thinking is the process of analyzing and solving problems systematically: making decisions based on logic, and reason rather than impulse or emotion. It includes the ability to employ reflective and independent thinking. Mastering the skills of critical thinking will have an immense and profound impact on virtually every aspect of your life. In 2018 the Association of American Colleges and Universities sponsored survey to investigate employers’ views. In this study, the researchers interviewed more than 300 private sector managers and government executives and the question they asked was, ‘what skills do you think are most important for an employee to have? The results are quite telling. Two of the top three essential competencies they indicated were strong critical thinking skills and ethical judgment and decision-making abilities.
