Six Thinking Hats!!

Here comes the new post!

Just back after attending the LEAD leadership training program. Today's workshop was all about 'How to make effective decisions in life..?' The three hour workshop was conducted by the RMIT Student Counselors for 13 of us..

The workshop mainly focused on Edward de Bono's lateral thinking style. This method is popularly known as 'Six Thinking Hats' & was initially developed in 1980. The six hats represent six modes of thinking and are directions to think rather than labels for thinking. That is, the hats are used proactively rather than reactively.

The idea is simple. Each time you wear an imaginary hat, you switch your thinking style in accordance to the hat you are wearing. When you change the hat, you change your mind..!


After collecting all sorts of information wearing each hat, you make a decision wearing the blue hat.. [Can make a decision without wearing that too..! ;) ]
