Critical Thinking: The soul of communication

 From the excerpt, we see how there is a never-ending need for improvement in today’s fast-paced society. The demand for soft skills such as the ability to communicate effectively and think critically is highly valued.


As a leader, we are responsible for the work produced by the people working with us as it is a direct representation of a leader’s working attitude. We delegate information and instructions to others. Should it be poorly communicated, poor work is produced as a result. Hence, it is crucial that we are able to critically think to ensure that the information is effectively communicated to our colleagues with clarity and purpose.  

In this context, critically thinking refers to our ability to convey purpose of the information to other colleagues, while ensuring that it is clear and cohesive. This ensures that they are collectively on the same page with clarity of the aim of the information provided.

Therefore, the future of workplaces is highly dependent on the key leaders’ skillset.

Self introduction

  To Professor Brad, The purpose of this letter is to share about myself such as my reason for choosing mechanical engineering, my strengths, and shortcomings which are one of my goals that I want to work on with this module. I hope that my contribution and participation in class will be able to leave a lasting impression not only on you, but also my other classmates. I was previously from Ngee Ann Polytechnic and had graduated with a diploma in aerospace technology with a minor in business management. I had chosen to study mechanical engineering in Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT), as I wanted to enter a more general field of study, which provides more flexibility in the future. Personally, I consider myself to be an extroverted introvert. I open up and speak more, only when I deem the environment comfortable. I consider this to be one of my flaws as I expect myself to be situated in new, unfamiliar environments while having to perform under pressure. However, I view having fl

Summary/Reader Response Draft #1

Germii’s article prospects the ‘Whiz’ cleaning robot to be able to increase public cleanliness while improving workflow efficiency. Cleaners are pushed mentally and physically as they work long hours in unhygienic conditions while they struggle to meet high workload demands of employers. As a result, studies have shown that cleaners develop poor musculoskeletal health due to extensive amounts of workload with insufficient/proper rest times (Woods & Buckle, 2005). It is not only inhumane, but also impractical to overload cleaners with such working conditions. Therefore, this has led to an increase in demand for highly intelligent, efficient, cost-effective cleaning robots (Das et al., 2019). Repetitive, laborious manual tasks are now taken over by cleaning robots, while cleaners are sent for courses, where they learn to operate such technology productively (GERMii, 2021). Implementing the usage of autonomous cleaning robots in industries such as healthcare and tourism where efficie
