Critical thinking or in Indonesian called critical thinking is a way of thinking that is clear, rational, open, and based on evidence and facts on what we read, hear, or see. Critical thinking is a process of identification, observation, analysis, reflection, and decision making. Critical thinking itself has characteristics, namely clarity, accuracy, relevance, and depth. Analytical thinking is the ability to observe, research, and analyze complex information to develop it into ideas and solutions. The main steps in analytical, namely gathering information, identifying problems, and finding solutions. The difference between critical and analytical thinking lies in the existing utilization, purpose, and thought process. Critical thinking has a circular thinking process while analytical thinking uses a linear and focused thinking process. When facing a problem, analytical thinking takes precedence over critical thinking.

In creative thinking there are five stages, namely preparation, incubation, illumination, evaluation, and implementation. Creative thinking skills are important because they allow a person to be imaginative and explore all possibilities and scenarios in a situation. Activities that can trigger creative thinking skills, namely reading books, traveling, and changing habits such as initially using a watch in the right hand are changed to the left hand. Creative thinking can turn into strategic thinking when a decision affects almost all aspects of the organization. At that moment, creative thinking is not only creative, but can be the best and long-term solution for an organization.
