Willett presents at the International Conference on Critical Thinking

Professor Lynne Willett, operations and management, presented at the 45th Annual International Conference on Critical Thinkinghosted 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.
