Fostering Curiosity: Developing Critical Thinking Skills

Competition in the marketplace, and excellence in any organization requires that more and more employees be engaged with what’s really going on. Here are a few places where it’s so badly needed:
  • Data driven cultures that beg not for more data, but for better utilizing the data they already have
  • Public sector organizations whose primary role is in assuring compliance
  • Call centers where employees deal with a mind-numbing array of customers on the other end of the line
  • “Enron-like” board rooms and corridors where ethics matter most
  • Any work location where employees are assigned to labor in dull, routine, or unimaginative tasks

For these work settings and others like it we propose that developing and sharpening critical thinking skills neither comes automatically nor instantly. Curiosity is an organizational duty. And its implications are far-reaching and important for everyone. In speaking of his accomplishments, Albert Einstein once claimed: “I have no special talents, I am only passionately curious.”

What is curiosity and how do you impart the passion that drives it in yourself and others? What impact would critical thinking skills have on one's own work? This hands-on workshop explores such topics as:
  • How do you build a culture for critical thinking?
  • How do you identify employees who are innately curious?
  • What behaviors do you foster in building critical thinking skills in the workplace?
  • What processes and activities will engage employees in passionately thinking about your company?

Curiosity involves more than just asking questions. There is power in engaging employees by giving them license to be curious. This experience is designed to unleash the power of curiosity within our selves and others.

“It is a shameful thing to be weary of inquiry when what we search for is excellent.”
--Marcus T. Cicero
