The Critical Thinking for Leaders Training Course is a comprehensive leadership training course designed to strengthen analytical capability, improve strategic judgement, and enhance evidence-based decision-making at all organisational levels. In today’s complex business environment, leaders must go beyond intuition and experience; they must evaluate data, challenge assumptions, and make rational decisions under pressure. This course provides practical frameworks and structured thinking models that enable leaders to assess risks, interpret information accurately, and solve complex problems with clarity and confidence.
Delivered by Imperial Corporate Training Institute, a trusted name in training courses, this programme focuses on real-world leadership scenarios. Participants will learn how to identify cognitive biases, analyse competing priorities, test assumptions, and develop structured reasoning processes. Through case studies, interactive exercises, and scenario-based simulations, leaders will gain the ability to think critically in high-stakes situations. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to foster a culture of intelligent questioning, logical evaluation, and strategic foresight within their teams and organisations.
