I'm using problem solving here as a catch all to cover both conceptual and concrete thinking, and all the sub-competencies that fall beneath those headers. Critical thinking, especially the abilities to analyze and synthesize, are especially important not only in their own right but also for handling ambiguity. I'm a bit obsessed with the ability to deal with unknowns because I find that those with the tools to make decisions in the face of ambiguity or uncertainty can generally work around a lack of raw intellect... whereas smart people who need structure get stuck.

For me, this is the one thing that, if not brought to the table, I am repeatedly reminded that I cannot teach. Try as I might, the ability to work through issues, identify the often unspoken "real question" and identify issues, is not something I have been able to teach or develop in others. For me, I see this as going beyond problem solving tools and methodologies. Good luck with the book - pretty exciting! Hi Jason, do you encompass Critical Thinking under problem solving?
