Instructional Unit 1 Task 5.2 "Critical Thinking - The Soul of Communication"

  Communication is extremely important especially in the working industry. Good communication in a workplace ensures that workflow is smooth. Lack of good communication between colleagues can create complications which will add unnecessary stress onto you and use up precious time. Based on the excerpt taken from Pearson’s TalentLens, it mentioned that the lack of good communication in UK and US companies was measured to be about US$37 billion dollars in 2008. Critical thinking is also an important skill to have in the working industry. It is the ability to be able to analyse any given situation and produce the best results. Critical thinking relates back to good communication skills. As a future leader working in the industry, it is essential that you are able to consider everyone’s thoughts and develop a rational argument so that your team members understand that whatever course of action that you decide to take is the most efficient.
