Professor Lynne Willett, operations and management, presented at the 45th Annual hosted by the University of Louisville. In her session, "Embodying Critical Thinking in Leadership Practice," Willett used a personal example from her industry career, describing how she applied critical thinking theory and concepts to grow in her own leadership and evolved from "traditional" labor-management techniques in organized labor settings, moving from an adversarial approach to solving problems to a solution-focused collaboration between union leaders and management for the benefit of the entire organization.
Willett is one of four individuals in the nation to have earned a Level One certification from the Foundation of Critical Thinking and is currently fulfilling the requirements to be the first person to earn a Level Two certification.
