Alack of critical thinking within organizations can be severely damaging. Critical thinking is needed for problem solving and for generating innovative ideas and solutions. Without it, new paths and avenues fail to be fully explored and forged.

When organizations lack creative thinkers, their working environments tend to be made up of employees who:
• Blindly repeat the destructive or negative reactions they have learned
• Don’t question existing workplace norms and boundaries, whether they are written or unspoken, beneficial, or detrimental
• Robotically trust internal organizational goals, plans, and initiatives

• Mechanically accept, believe, and say that if the organization does it or promotes it, it must be right or appropriate
