Okay, so, I’m trying to understand why critical thinking is ALWAYS brought up when we talk about good leadership. I get that it’s about thinking things through, but can’t a leader just rely on their experience or gut feeling sometimes? Is critical thinking really THAT crucial in leadership positions?
