The Challenge: How to teach Managers to use critical thinking to solve a real-life issue such as, how to handle an incompetent employee.
The Fix and Key Insights:
| 1. | Tell a Story that Captures Their Attention |
| To capture the learner’s attention from the start, we used a video synopsis of the issue we wanted them to analyze. |
| 2. | Provide tools for analysis |
| Then we provided learners with tools, such as a FishBone, to allow them to analyze the issue and then post their thoughts so others could see them too. |
| 3. | Encourage Learners to Learn from Each Other< |
| Allow learners to discuss their analysis and findings with others to encourage a community of learning. We did this by allowing each learner to post their analysis and provide comments on each others’ work so they can learn from each other. |
The Outcome: Managers learned from each other and were better able to work things out with their own incompetent employees by having better critical thinking skills.
