Six Thinking Hats


Listen Later

Used successfully by thousands of business managers, educators, and government leaders around the world, Six thinking hats is a model that allows your brain to go through practical and unique approaches to make decisions and explore new ideas. 


Six thinking hats also depersonalise arguments and allow teams to work collaboratively. Named by Dr De Bono as ‘Parallel Thinking’, this method enables each person to look at all sides of a situation and fully explore the subject before coming to a mutual decision. The emphasis here is not on who wins and who loses but on designing a path forward for everyone. 


In this book, Dr De Bono unscrambles the thinking process with his six thinking hats:


  • WHITE HAT: neutral and objective, concerned with facts and figures
  • RED HAT: the emotional view
  • BLACK HAT: careful and cautious, the devil's advocate hat
  • YELLOW HAT: sunny and positive
  • GREEN HAT: associated with fertile growth, creativity and new ideas
  • BLUE HAT: cool, the colour of the sky, above everything else-the organising hat


Through case studies and real-life examples, Dr De Bono offers a simple tool that may provide you with clearer thinking, improved communication and greater creativity to make better decisions.
