Leaders often proceed under the mistaken belief that as organizational or technical experts, they can simply think their way through difficult problems.

Experimental evidence has time and again illustrated that  experts often do no better than non-experts in such analytical situations.

The Critical Thinking Skills course is focused on providing practitioners with both the whys and hows of proper analytical techniques.

It provides a detailed presentation of the ways in which practitioners may consider alternatives and challenge assumptions, all the while illustrating how evidence-based techniques can greatly improve judgmental forecasting and decision making in any type of organization.

In This session you will learn:

• How to decompose information into smaller elements in order to arrange these into a logical pattern
• Employ rigorous brain storming techniques that encourage a broad range of perspectives, including minority and dissenting opinions
• Improve your performance as a leader, manager, and analyst
• Master techniques to generate hypotheses that explain available information and can be used to perform tests to confirm/deny
• Demonstrate an ability to assess cause and effect and then perform a critical review of the premises, assumptions, and logic of the analysis
• Know how to properly structure and test your hypothesis
• Recognize biases and prejudices that get in the way of reliable analysis
• Learn how to select the best analytical tool for a situation from an array of analytic techniques

How do you get everyone in the organization moving together toward business goals? How do you focus people toward performance? The answer lies in performance management, a systematic approach that aligns employee behavior with organizational strategies.

This webinar will equip you with the skills and knowledge to create a process that will develop your employees, shape the culture of your organization (or work unit), and increase productivity.

Learning objectives include:

• Write targeted performance goals
• Diagnose and correct performance issues
• Use coaching techniques to bring out the best in people
• Provide effective feedback on performance
• Deliver performance appraisals that matter
