Villanova School of Business Dean Patrick Maggitti recently published an article for US News & World report on the importance of critical thinking when looking for employees. He refers to a study done by indeed.com that states that since 2009, mentions of critical thinking have doubled in job postings.

He explains that although companies are looking for critical thinkers, that is only a portion of the higher skill to create new solutions. “It is far easier to be the art critic than the artist.
