Are you tired of making uninformed decisions that lead to dead ends and missed opportunities? Surrounding yourself with critical thinkers is the answer you’ve been searching for. But what exactly is critical thinking, you ask? It’s the art of analyzing, evaluating, and making informed decisions based on solid evidence and logic. And to become a master at it, you need to be open-minded, willing to challenge assumptions, and able to consider alternative perspectives. 

Now, why should critical thinking be a top priority in the workplace? For one, it promotes strategic, analytical, and objective decision-making, which is crucial in today’s complex business environment. As organizations face increasingly complex problems, team members need to be able to solve them quickly and effectively. Additionally, critical thinking fosters innovation and creativity among team members, driving progress and growth. Finally, it promotes clearer and more effective communication between clients and all members of the organization.

At GoTeam, we understand the importance of fostering a safe and inclusive environment that encourages critical thinking and idea-sharing. By embracing these skills and creating a supportive atmosphere, we can all make informed decisions and achieve our goals faster. 
 
One of the habits discussed in “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” is reflected in our approach to collaboration. We value humility and recognize that the best way forward may not be “my way” or “your way,” but rather a third alternative that we can discover together. This principle, known as Synergize, emphasizes the power of teamwork and the importance of finding mutually beneficial solutions. As Steven Covey puts it, let’s commit to finding the best way forward together.
