ABSTRACT

The skillful use of critical reflective processing (critical reflection, critical dialogue, and critical inquiry) is another way to address the development of the five attributes that are necessary for learning to think strategically: imagination, broad perspective, juggle, no control, and desire to win. I want to underscore that critical reflection does not necessarily lead to strategic thinking, but it is an essential component. In other words, the approaches suggested here may foster critical reflection, but they do not necessarily lead to changed perspectives in practice.
