This year, I’ve read more good books containing radically new ideas than in any time of my life. The genre of How To has been different. Seven Habits: Cool, but stale. GTD: Cool.
I have been aware of Six Thinking Hats for a long time. Been on my someday/maybe list. I read it last week. It’s impressive, novel, and intuitively correct.
The gist: The are paradigms of thinking that we should exercise: Western Civ teaches black hat thinking–which is “trying to be cautious. By adding “optimisitc” thinking, “creative” thinking, “emotional” thinking, and “facts/figures” thinking we can have a geometric impact on our effectiveness.
Six Thinking Hats is novel because it creates a dead simple framework for getting the best out of each other in meetings, in planning and in everything else. I highly recommend reading it. It’s probably going to make my “annual reread” list.
Six Thinking Hats. Edward DeBono. 196 Pages.
