Certificate in Critical Thinking for Managers
Course Information
Did you know that there are almost 31,000 management roles that need to be filled across Australia? (Source: Seek.com.au, 19 Jul 2022) and recruiters are saying that they are having a tough time filling these roles as there are not enough candidates with the requisite knowledge or experience on the market.
In an article published by The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the number one skill most employers are looking for in their leadership and management team is their ability to critically think and develop critical and strategic thinking in their teams. Harvard Business Review also dissected a management survey conducted by Gartner in 2021 further evidencing that employers seek out managers who are able to inspire and develop critical thinking in its workforce.
This shows that employers value the importance of having a workforce that is able to think critically to add value to its business, and particularly managers within their businesses who can develop and refine these skills in their respective teams.
This makes it the perfect time to learn how you can develop critical thinking skills in others to equip you with the essential knowledge to make you a more valuable manager and leader.
