Six Thinking Hats
Book • 1985
In 'Six Thinking Hats,' Edward de Bono introduces a method to improve the efficiency and productivity of thinking.
The book proposes the use of six colored hats, each symbolizing a different mode of thinking: white for facts, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for benefits, green for creativity, and blue for control.
This approach helps in organizing and structuring discussions to ensure all aspects of a problem are considered, promoting balanced decision-making and reducing conflicts.
The method is particularly useful in group settings, such as business and educational contexts, to foster more inclusive and systematic thinking.
