Why critical thinking is important

Critical thinkers are in high demand in the workplace because companies always need better, more
informed solutions. More specifically, critical thinking at work helps you:

Improve decision-making, evaluate an argument’s validity and its potential impact

Form your own opinions on a topic, develop your personal ethics and confidence

Engage on a deeper, more intellectual level with your coworkers and supervisors to form stronger
working relationships

Evaluate your own work to determine ways to improve quality and efficiency

Develop better comprehension skills, both in conversation and reading
