Abstract
This paper integrates the concepts of critical thinking and change-making by introducing the problem-solving Kepner-Tregoe (KT) Method in the Company Democracy Model. The concept of situationality, as presented in the Company Democracy Model (CDM), is further supported in this paper with the KT problem-solving methods to identify the core nature of a specific situational concern that supports people’s critical thinking. The paper defines and analyses the KT methods’ situational concerns, categorized into five areas: understanding a situation, deviation cause, alternatives selection, risk reduction, and chance enhancement. Identifying the core nature of a specific situational concern helps to find a thinking approach that leads to an idea that is transformed into an innovative process, product, or service. The paper uses the Aristotelian golden mean to effectively balance this employee performance and identity imbalances that feed the development of corrective actions and impact behavioral change.
