Be a Critical Thinking Manager, not Criticising Manager

From discussions with my clients today, I realized that many managers are not doing critical thinking in their job.  In fact many of them are doing 'Criticizing Thinking', because they think that criticising people is part of their job. Truth be told, being critical and criticising are different things .  You don't criticise just for the sake of criticising .  If a manager is not doing critical thinking, he is not doing the right thinking and will soon be doing 'follower thinking', or commonly called 'Group Think'.  Worse still, the manager is doing this thing called 'not thinking', and he will soon be not a manager. What is Critical Thinking?  Why is critical thinking important?  Critical thinking is about being able to think in ways that can understand events in this world and ultimately lead to problem solving .  It is obvious that a manager's job is to solve problems, and he is not doing critical thinking, how can he solve problems?
