Why use it
Spiritual
thinking means each of us takes responsibility for developing both our personal
and inter-personal thinking skills to their fullest.
Spiritual
thinkers make a meaningful effort to ensure their personal thinking
is correct. They challenge their own thinking first and look for ways they
could have made a mistake before coming to conclusions.
Spiritual
thinkers also seek interpersonal collaborative thinking that produces ideas and
solutions that no individual alone could have developed.
