In this episode, I had the privilege of an in-person conversation with one of my best friends, Bryce Hoffman. As it is with all of our conversations, we discussed a wide range of things, including the importance of critical thinking in leadership, emphasizing its role in navigating today's volatile and uncertain world, the decline of critical thinking education and its impact on society, and addressing the systemic issues faced by businesses and governments.

Key Highlights:

- Critical thinking is the most essential skill for today’s leaders, yet it's one of the hardest to hire for due to its decline in education.

- The importance of stopping self-defeating behaviors and policies in organizations.

- The lack of courageous leadership in addressing critical issues like climate change and systemic racism.

- A call for a return to thoughtful leadership and critical thinking to navigate the complexities of the modern world.Bryce’s LinkedIn
