How do you foster a culture of creativity and critical thinking in your team? Creativity and critical thinking are essential skills for solving complex problems, generating innovative ideas, and adapting to changing environments. However, they are not innate abilities that you either have or don't have. They are cognitive processes that can be developed and improved through metacognition, or the awareness and regulation of your own thinking. In this article, you will learn what metacognition is, how it relates to creativity and critical thinking, and how you can use it to enhance your team's performance and collaboration.

1 What is metacognition?

Metacognition is the ability to monitor, evaluate, and control your own thinking processes. It involves three main components: knowledge, regulation, and experience. Knowledge refers to what you know about your own cognitive strengths, weaknesses, strategies, and goals. Regulation refers to how you plan, monitor, and adjust your thinking activities to achieve your objectives. Experience refers to how you reflect on and learn from your cognitive outcomes and emotions. Metacognition helps you to optimize your learning and problem-solving by making you aware of your own thinking patterns, biases, and assumptions, and by enabling you to adapt and improve them.

You may also want to consider how your emotions influence your thinking. Mindfulness and meditation can be very helpful at untangling emotion.

An important factor to consider are the "autopilots" that we are running on which are creating blindspots. To overcome this challenge it's helpful to create an environment of trust in which people around you openly address your blindspots by contributing to your thinking. A great way to do this is to foster dialogues and invite for debates. Collaborative thinking improves individual thinking and helps to create awareness for your own thinking processes.

2 How does metacognition enhance creativity?

Creativity is the capacity to come up with original and valuable ideas or products, which is achieved through two distinct processes: divergent thinking and convergent thinking. Divergent thinking is the production of multiple and varied possibilities, while convergent thinking is the assessment and selection of the most suitable or feasible ones. Metacognition can improve both processes by aiding you to recognize and define the problem or challenge that necessitates a creative solution, generate and explore various alternatives and perspectives, using different cognitive strategies and tools, monitor and evaluate the quality and relevance of your ideas, using criteria and feedback, refine and improve your ideas, using revision and iteration, and communicate and implement your ideas, using appropriate formats and channels. By doing so, you can unlock your creative potential and come up with innovative solutions.

3 How does metacognition foster critical thinking?

Critical thinking is the capacity to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize data and arguments in a rational and impartial way. It necessitates four primary abilities: interpretation, analysis, evaluation, and inference. Metacognition can bolster these skills by aiding you to comprehend and comprehend the inquiry or issue that necessitates critical thinking, accumulate and arrange pertinent and dependable information and evidence from various sources and methods, analyze and interpret the information and evidence with logical reasoning and frameworks, evaluate and critique the information and evidence with standards and criteria, and draw and validate conclusions and implications with sound arguments and explanations.

When I decided to major in Art History for my undergrad studies, I got the expected "what do you intend to do with that" reaction. However, I learned most of my critical thinking skills from those classes. It was consistently studying pieces, learning how to identify patterns and styles, interpreting the artwork in the context of history, and continually supporting your positions with evidence and logical reasoning. And for those who are curious, I took those critical thinking skills along with my Art History degree and graduated in the top 10 of my law school class (-:

4 How can you develop metacognition in your team?

To foster metacognition in your team, it is essential to create a collaborative and supportive atmosphere that encourages and enables reflection, feedback, and growth. Here are some useful strategies to do so: Model and encourage metacognitive behaviors and attitudes, like questioning, sharing ideas, requesting feedback, and admitting mistakes. Give and request constructive and precise feedback, both positive and negative, on the team's and individual's thinking processes and results. Stimulate and support self-regulation and goal-setting, such as planning, monitoring, and adjusting the team's and individual's thinking activities and strategies. Facilitate and take part in reflective and dialogic activities, such as debriefing, brainstorming, and peer-reviewing, that bring out and enhance metacognitive awareness and skills. Provide and use metacognitive tools and resources, such as checklists, rubrics, and frameworks, that direct and support the team's and individual's thinking processes and results.

The best way I've encouraged metacognition development is by sharing with my team. In some environments, it's easy to become siloed, and in these settings, creativity can flounder. To break through this stagnation, I suggest consciously fostering a climate where showing one's work is encouraged and celebrated. It's refreshing and inspiring when team members feel comfortable sharing their work products. Some of my best ideas have come after seeing what colleagues are doing. And vice versa; some of my colleagues have found great inspiration after seeing what I've come up with. Break through the desire to be tight-fisted. While no one wants their ideas pilfered, the benefits of openness can foster excellence that surpasses a solo journey.

It's important to remind people to simply be curious. For those who naturally excel at critical thinking, it's easy to believe everyone else will as well. However, it's a skill that some people need to build up. It takes courage to ask questions without feeling like you are trying to derail an initiative. If you are in the starting stages of encouraging critical thinking and metacognition on your team, lean towards an informal approach at first. Checklists, rubrics, and other frameworks may be intimidating and could deter what will likely come naturally to the team.

Metacognition can bring a plethora of advantages to your team, from improving performance and productivity, to enhancing creativity and innovation, to strengthening critical thinking and decision making.

When people share the issues they are working through and allow colleagues to ask questions to dig deeper, it helps provide perspective and possibly faster resolution than simply tackling the problem yourself. It also helps us realize that we are not alone, as someone on the team likely encountered a similar issue before. Working through things together can definitely enhance collaboration and creative outcomes to various projects.
