The “who, what, where, when, why, and how” questions of scholars, journalists, historians, and other fact processors are #CriticalThinking’s basics. Thinkers are challenged in ways similar to diligently, accurately, and meaningfully thinking through #wars raging around the world.

“It will take some time…for a challenge to one of Mr. Trump’s actions to reach the #SupremeCourt. So far he has not openly flouted lower court rulings temporarily halting some of his initiatives, and it remains to be seen whether he would defy a ruling…” —@adamliptak, @nytimes

The #ConstitutionalCrisis is caused by #LawlessConduct: revoking birthright citizenship, freezing federal spending, firing government employees subject to civil service protections, threatening to deport people based on political views, etc. #MoralInjury

For those of #ReasonedFaith traditions such as @churchscotland-influenced @Presbyterian’s “scholarship of #followership” folks, this @nytopinion essay may rank among the most resonant reflections about the psychological, societal, and religious issues of complex thinking related to the #rethinking required to intellectually discern and accept one’s own—or another’s—core #sexuality. Value Theory is among scholarly frames for this compelling story about #metacognition in parenting and coming-of-age #SelfAwareness—i.e., asking, “What is ‘your good;’ your grasp of and identification with ‘good’—and yours alone?” That’s the bigger than big question about any factor of a well-lived life—encapsulated in Value Theory, which is worth a Google Search to inform you or to refresh your memory. The evangelical father’s “thinking about his thinking,” as brilliantly chronicled herein, is quite startling. The son’s metacognitive reflections are powerful. Think openly, think trustingly, think thinkingly. Click through. —JRDjr

Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Thinking—#DEIT—ignites #metacognition at its best. It’s the #HigherOrderThinking (#HoT) type of thinking about thinking’s diversity no one can stop! Fight the #AcquiescentThinking of stultifying—and risky—intellectual acquiescence of #GroupThink.

A shock! My steering wheel stopped while I was driving. With a herculean struggle, I pulled into a gym’s parking lot at closing time. When I popped the hood to see what I might, 7 men came to help. One plucked from my E550 a shedded serpentine belt. Scary!

Pick. Act. Complete.

Unflappably confident #leaders are coached to be studiously humble and vulnerable. #Courage can’t exist without fear. Even the fear of “missing something” vital in a decision-critical equation requires #CourageousCognition—to metacognitively navigate #humility and #vulnerability.

View #ConfidentHumility and #ValuedVulnerability as strengthening—more than #strengths unto themselves. Humbly develop decision-critical thinking skills to fortify your #VulnerableSelf. Focus on #metacognition’s psychological and executional benefits. Be a confident #ThinkerDoer.

Click for metacognitive insights from @AdamMGrant via @NBForumHQ. The list below was reordered a tad by @EnclaveAcademy—to align more sequentially with the Academy’s overarching Mission: Metacognition™ message: “Thinking Like a Scientist Fostering a Culture of Generosity Vulnerability and Confident Humility Asking for Advice, Not Feedback Putting Growth over Ego — Questions for Reflection: • How can you embrace vulnerability in your leadership and create a culture where others feel comfortable doing the same? • In what ways can you shift from asking for feedback to seeking advice in your personal and professional life? • What practices can you implement to foster a culture of generosity within your organization? • How can you apply the scientific mindset to your decision-making process, treating each choice as a hypothesis to be tested? • How can leaders balance the need for humility with the confidence required to lead effectively?” #ConfidentHumility! Thank you, #DrAMG. —JRDjr
