This chapter explores the importance of critical thinking for leaders without authority, distinguishing it from being critical. It discusses the three key aspects of critical thinking and the tension that arises when leaders feel powerless to address their observations and questions. The chapter also emphasizes the need for influence, perseverance, and rejecting passivity in leadership.
In 2017, Clay Scroggins and I discussed how anyone could leverage their influence, even when they lacked authority. In 2022, this conversation is just as important.
