Here’s how to build critical thinking at work:Question assumptions — ask “Why do we believe this is true?” Seek evidence — demand data, not just opinions. Consider alternatives — deliberately generate 2–3 other explanations or solutions. Use the “5 Whys” technique to dig into root causes. Practice structured thinking (e.g., MECE, issue trees, pros/cons with weights). Actively seek disagreement — invite pushback and steelman opposing views. Reflect after decisions: What went well? What blind spots existed? Read opposing viewpoints regularly (articles, reports, critics). https://hbr.org/2019/05/3-simple-habits-to-improve-your-critical-thinking https://www.mindtools.com/a3x2t4u/critical-thinking https://fs.blog/critical-thinking/
