Myślenie krytyczne to nie teoria, to narzędzie skutecznego działania – wywiad Pawła Dudka z Maciejem Winiarkiem

W świecie, w którym decyzje podejmujemy szybciej niż kiedykolwiek, myślenie krytyczne staje się nie luksusem, lecz koniecznością. To umiejętność zatrzymania się, zadania właściwych pytań i dostrzeżenia powiązań tam, gdzie inni widzą chaos. O tym, jak myśleć o myśleniu, dlaczego pokora i odwaga intelektualna są dziś ważniejsze niż doświadczenie, oraz jak rozwijać kulturę myślenia w zespołach i organizacjach, Paweł Dudek, change manager, certyfikowany trener metodyki Prosci®, prowadzący zajęcia z networkingu w programach MBA w Uniwersytecie Warszawskim oraz Koźmiński University, rozmawia z ekspertem i trenerem krytycznego myślenia, Maciejem Winiarkiem.

Executive coach Susanne Madsen addresses this challenge by advocating for a gentle yet transformative journey inward — the necessary Inner Work that moves leaders beyond transactional management to become truly transformational.

Najpierw poczuj, potem zdecyduj. Jak emocje i empatia budują odporność liderów i skuteczność zespołów – wywiad Malwiny Szopy z Kari Goldyn

W swoich podcastach często mówisz o emocjach w biznesie – dlaczego uważasz, że to właśnie one są jednym z kluczowych elementów efektywności zawodowej? Kiedyś tłumaczyłam coś zawzięcie mojej klientce, a ona mi na to odparła, z ogniem w głosie: „Kari, ja to wiem! I co z tego, że ja to wiem… Ja to muszę poczuć!”. I tym stwierdzeniem dotknęła czegoś, o czym często zapominamy, a może nawet nie chcemy pamiętać: decyzje podejmujemy emocjami, a dopiero potem je sobie racjonalnie usprawiedliwiamy.

Language as a Bridge: The power of communication over perfection

Piotr, you speak seven languages. How did you do it? I usually say "hold my beer" and then I tell a long story :) The story is indeed a long one and it began nearly 25 years ago. At that time, I failed one of the two university entrance exams. In order to retake it, I decided to study German philology, just for a year, to improve my German, which by the way, I had already been studying for nearly a decade. A year later, I passed the exam, but unfortunately, I did not succeed in the second one. As a result, I remained in the German philology program with the intention of leveraging later my German language skills in my career. This path eventually led me to my first role in the industry. In my second company I was quickly promoted (at just 27 years old) and became Sales Director for Central and Eastern Europe. My responsibilities included building the company’s operations from scratch in over 20 countries, participating in international trade fairs and negotiating contracts. Soon I realized that in addition to improve my English, which was at the time truly indispensable at the time, I also need to learn Russian as quickly as possible. This was the last language I studied with a teacher and even though the process took less than two years. Learning subsequent languages became significantly faster, I could reach a level of comfortable in just a few weeks for each of one. What truly accelerated my progress were the frequent opportunities to apply my skills and the conclusion that foreign languages are, in essence, tools for building relationships. The stronger the relationships I wanted to cultivate, the faster I needed to master a particular language. I fully immersed myself in each language and sought ways to enhance my productivity, tailoring the learning process to fit my daily routine and lifestyle. This approach proved to be a real game changer.
