This has always helped me when I have had an issue arise and no matter what profession I was in. When I was a regional trainer for the Southwest Region for a major grocery store chain I had to use critical thinking a lot when it came to setting up my lesson plans, approaching the best way to teach a class, and engaging my class. When I first started this position I was very nervous that I would not be great teacher and that I would freeze up and forget what to say.

The Angelo (2011) website says, “In the workplace, the application of critical thinking results in better decisions, fewer mistakes and improves the level of collaboration among people.” Critical thinking has always been beneficial in any workplace I have worked.

This helps not only the individual with the problem but the business and helps the business grow and stay profitable. When people do not use critical thinking there tends to be more mistakes made and double work because now rushing into a solution did not help the issue just make it work. Overall by using your mind and analysing a problem or situation that occurs in the workplace can help with making sure that things are done correctly the first time and that no mistakes are being made. One bad solution can cost a company business and even money which can not only hurt the company but can hurt yourself and co-workers. This is why I always encourage critical thinking when a problem or issue arises and that taking more time to work on a solution is better in the long run than taking short cuts and trying to get it over
