Critical and rational thinking has risen to the top of the list of the most essential job skills.
These skills can be used:
- in situations where you need to consider different arguments and ideas and find the best way forward;
- in situations where you need to react quickly to an opponent's point of view, analyse it and find a strong counter-argument.

Long-term effects
"I try to argue all the time because empty talk does not lead to much. It is difficult to give examples, I communicate with some subordinates who like to prove the opposite all the time, and this knowledge has been applied for this purpose. I have also completed this training a second time to solidify my knowledge."
"I use it with my colleagues every day. Namely, I have small changes in the team and I have to admit that I still have to remind myself why and to whom it is necessary on a daily basis."
