Critical Thinking for Executives: Seeking Leaders, U.S. Companies Think Globally

Thinking Globally is thinking critically for tomorrow. The World is in constant chaos which can be managed by understanding that structure provides a framework inwhich to operate within variations. This understanding must be done in context where assumptions are linked to facts and facts to assumptions. The fact that chaos is the norm, the assumption is that variations must be used to adapt to a framework that can provide the environment inwhich we will operate.

The probability of success in an unstable environment is greatly enhanced by making judgments about what we are looking for, what we find when we look, and things discovered that we weren’t looking for at all. What you find must be measured against some context or the resulting meaning can be error or not useful to making future decisions. This is how to solve the critical thinking problem, according to Dr. Joseph Graham, www.contextthinking.com.

As we more to put more foreign executives into key leadership roles in U.S. companies, we must keep in mind where we are headed as a country, put that in context, and build around that fact with assumptions that when used with context thinking will put your company in better position to lead.
