Conclusion
The main difficulty in the thinking process is the confusion and complexity that comes with it. The Six Hats method is a magical solution that is simple to comprehend and even easier to use. We can apply it in any setting when thinking feels too haphazard: in a business meeting, a classroom, during a project brainstorming, and on our own.
Each hat is unique in its function and simple to remember because the association between color and hat usage is sufficiently intuitive. It’s important to stay disciplined and follow the rules of the hat that is in charge. For example, no irrational emotions should appear during the blue hat session. No fears or negativity should resurface when it’s time for a white hat.
Structure makes the thought process much easier, taking away the usual chaos. The Six Hats method expands the mind, breaking away from typical patterns. If a person is used to negativity, it’ll be challenging for them to see benefits in a given idea. While dealing with the yellow hat, the person will have no choice but to look on the bright side, which can lead to important discoveries.
Try this:
Do you have a problem on your mind for too long and can’t bring yourself to deal with it? Consider trying out the Six Hats method to find solutions. Choose the hats you want to try out. You don’t have to wear all hats, but you should remember the discipline and structure that comes with them.
