Developing Self-leadership through Critical Thinking
Introduction
The market today is becoming increasingly competitive. In order to survive this competition, organizations need not only good resources but also exceptional em
ployees. One way that organizations accomplish this is through personnel empowerment. Personnel empowerment encourages staff to develop their abilities, make independent decisions and grow through working for the organization (Güzel, TÜKELTÜRK, & Özkul, 2008). However, independence and reliance on employees are not sufficient for strengthening employees. They require relevant skills of self-leadership in order to be able to undertake the cycle of development themselves (Carmeli, Meitar & Weisberg, 2006; Hardy, 2007).
In order to address the issue of self-leadership, it is important to consider what dimensions can lead to it. Critical thinking can be considered one of the ways to do so. Critical thinking enables cultivation of rational decision making, and self-development. It helps in preparing future leaders as well as diligent employees who have self-administering capabilities (Elliott & Turnbull, 2004).
Ay, Karakaya & Yilmaz (2015) in their research titled “Relations Between Self-Leadership And Critical Thinking Skills” attempt to determine the relationship between self-leadership and critical thinking. This paper is a review article discussing Ay, Karakaya & Yilmaz (2015) research paper.

Hence it becomes natural to focus on these two dimensions. This study is thus focussed on examining the connection between self-leadership and critical thinking.
The aim of Ay, Karakaya & Yilmaz (2015) study was to establish the nature and connection of the relation self-leadership and critical thinking ability levels of university students as they are to constitute the future workforce.
Objective

· Specifying the level of leadership and critical thinking skills attained by students
· Determining the correlations between self-leadership and the various dimensions and sub-dimensions of critical thinking skills based on disciplines and demographic variables (gender)
Research Methodology
