It is very relevant not only to effective learning but a practical approach to becoming an authentic person and professional!!
This is so under valued and often unrecognised. When we promote social or network approaches to learning, we have to promote and encourage critical thinking - without it we're just promoting group think.

I would like to copy the bullets 1-25 above and hand them out to all the managers where I work, especially the more vocal and the more influential ones as they have more responsibility to ensure they have critically thought about things, before sharing their thoughts.
