false <![CDATA[Six Thinking Hats]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171363568m/97030.jpg 97030 6 The hats represent six thinking strategies. De Bono championed the cause which drove the creative processes in individuals. He would often hypothesize that of these approaches, most people used only one or two of the approaches and that people developed thinking habits which in turn limited people to those approaches. De Bono believed that if the various approaches could be identified and a system of their use developed which could be taught, that people could be more productive in meetings and in collaborating within groups and teams by deliberately using the approaches. As a result of his investigations, de Bono was able to describe a process of deliberately adopting a particular approach to a problem as an implementation of parallel thinking, as well as an aid to lateral thinking. Six different approaches are described, and each is symbolised by the act of putting on a colored hat, either actually or imaginatively. This he suggests can be done either by individuals working alone or in groups. The Red Hat represents Emotional thinking. The Yellow Hat represents Positive thinking. The Black Hat represents Critical thinking and more. The White Hat is purely the facts. The Green Hat is Creative thinking. The Blue Hat represents the Big Picture, sort of looking at it from all the viewpoints. 751152 26 10 2000 Six Thinking Hats total:202|5:42|4:73|3:66|2:20|1:1| 202 741 351 30 5 1 false false Sun Jan 25 23:32:18 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 25 23:35:23 -0800 2009 Six Thinking Hats by Edward De Bono
