The Life Of A Business Leader
Episode 11 - Beyond Gut Feel | How Critical Thinking Shapes Great Leaders
Leadership in today's fast-paced world demands more than just gut instinct—it requires thinking critically, planning effectively, and making informed decisions. In episode 11 of The Life of a Business Leader, Royston Guest is joined by Chris Brindley to explore how critical thinking shapes leadership success.
From understanding the fundamentals of critical thinking to developing practical strategies, Chris shares invaluable insights on mastering this essential skill. He emphasises the importance of "gold time"—dedicated moments for strategic thinking—and explains why leaders must create space in their schedules to harness the power of their "neck-top computers." From his experience, Chris highlights success modelling, cognitive diversity, and the role of intuition in decision-making.
