Six Thinking Hats (Edward de Bono)

Six Thinking Hats is a creative thinking process developed by Edward de Bono. It involves wearing metaphorical "hats" to approach problems from different perspectives. Each hat represents a style of thinking: 1. White Hat: Focuses on data and facts. 2. Red Hat: Emphasizes emotions and feelings. 3. Black Hat: Seeks potential problems and risks. 4. Yellow Hat: Highlights positives and benefits. 5. Green Hat: Encourages creativity and new ideas. 6. Blue Hat: Manages the thinking process. By switching between these hats, individuals and teams can explore an issue more comprehensively, fostering clearer communication and better decision-making.
