Give An Experience, Not A Report!

Give An Experience, Not A Report! | Serving and Leadership | Scoop.it

Have you come across aspects of work which seem ridiculous to you? I guess a common example could be procedures that are followed seemingly blindly, often because it's the way it's always been done. If you have, you've almost certainly had some great ideas about how to improve things…yet may have been left with the thought: “but I just don't have the power to change it"

(Article): Create a way to change it from a report into an experience, something people can see, hear, touch, smell and feel.

Critical Thinking: A Necessary Skill in the Age of Spin

   The ability to think critically is one skill separating innovators from followers. Critical thinking reduces the power of advertisers, the unscrupulous and the pretentious, and can neutralize the sway of an unsupported argument. This is a skill most students enjoy learning because they see immediately that it gives them more control.

 

Devastating Consequences


That said, young people -- without significant life experience and anxious to fit in -- are especially vulnerable to surface appeal. Targeted advertising affects their buying and eating habits; choosing friends for the wrong reasons can lead to real heartache. Decisions about joining the military, becoming a parent or choosing a career have indelible effects on a person's life.

 

An inability to think critically at an early age can have devastating consequences.
