Six Thinking Hats: An essential approach to business management from the creator of lateral thinking, Vol. 1

"The main difficulty of thinking is confusion. We try to do too much at once. Emotions, information, logic, hope, and creativity all crowd in on us. It is like juggling with too many balls". The solution? Edward de Bono unscrambles the decision-making process with his "six thinking hats": White Hat: white is neutral and objective, concerned with facts and figures.Red Hat: gives the emotional view.Black Hat: gloomy and negative, the "devil's advocate" hat.Yellow Hat: sunny and positive.Green Hat: associated with fertile growth, creativity, new ideas.Blue Hat: blue is cool, the color of the sky, above every thing else -- the organizing hat.Using case studies and real-life examples, Dr. de Bono Shows how each of us can become a better thinker through deliberate role-playing. He outlines a brisk, disciplined approach that both individuals and businesses (from start-ups major corporations) can adopt to create a climate of clearer thinking, improved communication, and greater creativity.De Bono, Edward is the author of 'Six Thinking Hats: An essential approach to business management from the creator of lateral thinking, Vol. 1' with ISBN 9780316177917 and ISBN 0316177911.
