Course Description
This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and FutureLearn partnership.
Why is critical thinking important?
Critical thinking ensures employees don’t make the wrong decisions that could waste time, money, or resources.
On this one-week course, you’ll develop your critical thinking skills to enable you to make decisions from a place of wisdom and clarity. With this knowledge, you’ll also be able to unlock the full potential of your team.
This CQ Original course from BoxPlay will arm you with essential critical thinking tools in a matter of hours, allowing you to confidently adapt to most issues in the workplace or your personal life.
Understand the benefits of critical thinking
With critical thinking, you’ll be able to correctly assess the information you receive and successfully present an argument. You’ll also be able to move beyond your prejudices and cognitive biases that can prevent you from dealing with difficult situations effectively.
You’ll learn how to apply the different steps of critical thinking including setting an intention, carrying out information analysis, and implementing a plan of action.
Promote management, collaboration, and communication skills in your team
You’ll learn about different thinking styles and how you can use critical thinking in your team to enhance management, communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills.
Hone your critical thinking style and decision-making skills
Now that you understand critical thinking, you’ll be able to take a greater role in the decisions you make to reach clear and strategic conclusions.
Following along with engaging activities, you’ll finish the course with the confidence to make better decisions in your professional and personal life.
I found the course a very valuable introduction to critical leadership skills.
