by Second-order thinking is a necessity to think beyond what we know, things we haven't thought about by applying divergent information and forming new associations and connections.

It requires asking these questions: Second-order thinking provides a framework to make decisions by learning the second-order consequences of our decisions and analyzing its impact in the near future.

It's activated by system1 thinking which is intuitive and fast (Source: Thinking Fast And Slow by Daniel Kahneman).

This is a great example of why applying second-order thinking is crucial while making hiring decisions to hire the right talent in an organization.
