QUALITY THINKING

Focus~~Discipline~~Responsibility
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Albert Einstein

The purpose of quality thinking is not to be right but to be effective.
Critical Thinking Factors
1)
Critical thinking is positive and action oriented
2) Critical thinking is proactive, not reactive
3) Critical thinking is a practiced skill, just as any physical skill needed for athletics
4) Critical thinking can be measured and evaluated
5) Critical thinking is the ability to take the abstract and make it simple for others to understand
6) Critical thinking is not a series of sound bites or clichés
Problem-Solving Factors
1) Properly define the problem and identify the core issue
2) Are quality and talented people in place to work on the problem?
3) Have the roles for these key players been identified and accepted?
4) Are there sufficient resources (people, money and time) to solve the problem?
5) Does the organization understand what will be delivered when the problem is solved?
6) Does the organization have the patience to wait for the problem to be solved?
7) If there is a timeline, has a starting point been identified? Likewise, is there an identified completion date?

Success consists of going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.
Winston Churchill
