Why critical thinking is important?

According to the Future of Jobs report conducted by the World Economic Forum in 2016, critical thinking skill is gradually becoming an important factor and is ranked in the top 10 skills needed (in 2015, this skill was ranked #4, and is estimated to reach #2 in 2020).

Having said that, what is critical thinking? It is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualising, applying, analysing, synthesising, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action.

Benefits of having critical thinking

For individuals, critical thinking can help in increasing these skills:

  • Self-Awareness: The ability to analyse/realise your own emotion
  • Problem Solving: Solve the problem logically
  • Time Management
  • Collaboration: Being understanding and sympathetic
  • Communication: Listen/Speak promptly, communicate effectively
  • Innovation: Be open to new ideas, new solutions…

For organisations, critical thinking can help individuals in improving other skills, including:

  • Coaching: understand the problem, analyse and organise thoughts when training others
  • Feedback: Understand the strength/weakness of others and describe them clearly, accurately using objective and constructive methods
  • Motivation: increase motivation and inspire people internally and externally
  • Discussion: think out of the box, analyse the issue in different directions objectively in discussions
