After reading six thinking hats, I spent some time reading 1, and swallowed six thinking hats, feeling some gains.
"Six Thinking Hats" is a way to solve the problem that many meetings take a long time and it is difficult to draw conclusions. The inventors are Dr. Edward, Dr. Germany and Dr. Bono. Mastering this method skillfully and using it correctly proves that it has obvious effect in solving multi-person problems. For individuals, it is also very good to develop a way of thinking and find a solution according to the six thinking hats.
For individuals, there are many decisions to make in life, and it is very important to make the right decision. However, I made many decisions in a hurry in the past. Although it succeeded and failed in the end, it is not clear where the success is and why it failed. Therefore, it is very necessary to learn to think comprehensively, verify in many ways and try to make the right decision. And "Six Thinking Hats" gives the correct method.
When facing a problem, to know what the problem is, we need to define the problem comprehensively with a blue thinking hat and make clear the goal to be achieved. On this basis, comprehensively collect information, objectively and fairly display the collected information and data, and speak with facts and data. This is a white thinking hat. Based on facts and materials, look forward to a bright future, find good ways and methods to solve problems, and use logical thinking to make these paths and methods reasonably explained, which is to use the yellow thinking hat. At this time, we can also use the green thinking hat to innovate ways and means to solve problems, starting from an idea, not sticking to the rationality of this idea, that is to say, we can adhere to the result orientation. Then use the black thinking hat to question and criticize the information and conclusions found before, find out the hidden dangers and dangers, and avoid the smooth achievement of the set goals to the maximum extent. Finally, feel the conclusion with the red thinking hat and evaluate whether it is implemented or not. The above steps can be repeated, skipped or advanced.
This is the inspiration provided by the six thinking hats for individuals to make decisions, but it is difficult to strictly implement them. Because people are lazy, they need time and patience to collect information, take pains to think, and deny and affirm themselves from all aspects. But this method is very helpful for making correct decisions.
In fact, I think this method is also very helpful to solve family disputes, but only if both people accept this way of solving problems.
Six thinking hats are worth thinking about.
Thinking after reading six thinking hats 2 After reading six thinking hats recommended by Dr. Edward de Bono, my biggest feeling is thinking. Thinking is the birthplace of human spiritual world and the most fundamental resource of human beings. We should pursue thinking endlessly. No matter how comprehensive our thinking is, we always want to be more comprehensive.
In order to really understand this book, you must compare your existing thinking mode when reading. I feel that when most of us think, we change from one situation to another according to our own instructions. Just like farmers farming, we can reap rich fruits only by plowing, sowing, fertilizing and watering. This is our traditional thinking mode-vertical thinking, which is characterized by coherence and must be linked together. If there is a problem in any link, you can't get the ideal thinking result.
The traditional vertical thinking has been deeply rooted in our hearts and can no longer adapt to the rapid changes in today's society. Therefore, Dr. Edward de Bono introduced a new thinking mode "lateral thinking".
Lateral thinking is creative, its purpose is to move, that is, to move from one way of looking at things to another. Lateral thinking is not sure which solution is the most suitable, but always looking for a better solution. I remember Mr. Fang once gave us an example. On the fast-moving subway, all the passengers are quietly doing their own things. When the station stopped, a father came up with three children. After getting on the bus, they always jump up and down and play games, which seriously affects the silence of other passengers. And the father let his children do whatever they want and didn't stop their behavior. Seeing this, what do you think of this father and his three children? At this time, a passenger who was reading a book couldn't stand it, so he asked the father, why didn't you stop your children from fighting? Don't you know they affect other passengers? The father's answer is really shocking. Those three children have just lost their mother, and I don't want them to be immersed in the pain of losing their loved ones. I think most of us, like this passenger, will think about the behavior of three children and their father from the longitudinal thinking of habit. From this, it is proved that vertical thinking can only establish a point of view in demand judgment and proof. On the contrary, lateral thinking is always hopeful, hoping to achieve a better model through reorganization. Lateral thinking is definitely not to prove anything, but to explore and trigger new ideas. In short, vertical thinking is looking for answers, and horizontal thinking is looking for problems.
Dr. Edward de Bono's Six Hats of Thinking takes six hats of different colors as a metaphor and divides thinking into six different aspects. These six ways of thinking do not represent people with six personalities, but mean that everyone can play six different roles when thinking.
White thinking hat is like white paper, representing neutrality and objectivity. It thinks about objective facts and data.
The red thinking hat is like a flame, representing emotions, intuition and feelings. It provides a perceptual point of view.
The black thinking hat is like a judge's black robe, representing calmness and seriousness. It means caution and caution, and it points out the risks of any point of view.
The yellow thinking hat is like sunshine. It means optimistic and hopeful positive thinking.
Green is the color of grass and vegetables, representing richness, fertility and vitality. Green thinking hat points to creativity and new ideas.
Blue is a cool color, the color of the sky high above. Blue thinking hat is the control and organization of thinking process and other thinking hats.
Dr. edward de bono introduced six thinking hats in order to change that we try to do too many things at the same time, which often makes our thinking in a state of confusion and affects our best judgment or choice. The essence of "six thinking hats" is not to do many things at the same time. Thinkers should learn to distinguish between logic and emotion, creation and information, wearing only one hat at a time and thinking in one way at a time. Divide the complicated thinking process into six aspects, thus simplifying thinking.
Six thinking hats, white, red, black, yellow, green and blue, symbolize different aspects of our social life, such as happiness, anger, sadness and joy. Only by wearing hats of different colors can we make the best judgment and form a conclusion naturally. At the same time, the "six thinking hats" is also a way to solve disputes, so that both sides are willing to accept thinking and discussion. I recommend you to read this book. It enriches your life and makes your work more efficient.
Six thinking hats are a thinking method developed by Dr. Deno, which can gather everyone's wisdom and improve decision-making ability. Mainly through the white, red, black, yellow, green and blue hats to represent six directions or aspects of thinking. By decomposing the problem into points first, and then drawing it into a surface, the purpose of fast and accurate decision-making can be achieved.
The six thinking hats are divided into white, red, black, yellow, green and blue. White hat represents neutral and objective information and data, is a true and fair expression of the real world, and is a summary of the situation. Red hat represents emotion, intuition and emotion, and it is a personal subjective feeling or understanding, which can make emotional things expressed in an uncontroversial way. A black hat is a cautious hat, representing calmness and seriousness. It is a hat specially used to find faults, difficulties and risks. It is also a hat mainly used for dialectical thinking, which provides a good reference for us to effectively prevent risks and understand loopholes. The yellow hat represents sunshine and value, is a hat for discovering opportunities, and is an optimistic hat for actively looking for value and profit. It enables us to face life and things positively, look for good and usable values of things from all aspects, and then look for good business opportunities and values from point to point. The cuckold represents wealth, richness and vitality. It is the hat of creative problem solving, the hat of creative value discovery, and the base camp of new ideas and new ideas. Blue hat stands for cool color and control, and is the command and commander of thinking. Controlling thinking and angle conversion can make thinking easier, more coordinated and more constructive.
"Six Thinking Hats" mainly solves the problem that many people argue fruitlessly in ordinary thinking, making thinking a problem that can be deployed by strategy and tactics, a skill problem or talent that ordinary people think can be mastered, so that you can get used to it and practice makes perfect.
Life is a battlefield. The battlefield is not only a good tactic, but also a strategic deployment. Strategy is more important than tactics. Thinking is the foundation of success or failure in life. Without good thinking ability and decision-making ability, there will be no good life process and ending. Thinking should also have strategies and tactics, which will make us make decisions faster, more accurate and more timely, and make us less hesitant and more courageous.
After reading Six Thinking Hats, I was lucky enough to read Six Thinking Hats by Dr. Edward Dipono after work. It was slowly brought into an unfathomable state of mind. It sums up thinking into six hats. To put it simply, White Hat is the monitor, Red Hat is the naive child, Black Hat is the doctor, Yellow Hat is the optimist, Green Hat is the inventor and police tactical unit is the strategist. Writing is simple, but thinking is usually abstract and boring, but this colorful and interesting way of thinking is put forward in the book. There is also the most innovative saying: chaos is the biggest enemy of thinking. Thinkers are required to think only one thing, solve problems or think together with one hat at a time. Everyone has a goal, a hat and a thinking direction.
I quite agree with this view, because I have personal experience. Many times, when you think about a problem and need to make a decision, you won't understand the clues. Suddenly, an idea flashed and you couldn't catch it. Or it is always not comprehensive enough and biased; I spent a lot of time thinking, only to find that the more I think about it, the more chaotic it is, and the result is still no result, but I don't understand why-the confusion of thinking.
If, according to the author's suggestion, you only wear a hat of a certain color at different times and in a certain order, then you will solve every problem smoothly and intently, control the whole thinking process with the help of the blue hat, and synthesize all the thinking results, then it is not difficult to make a decision on this basis-because the whole thinking process is comprehensive and rational.
I think the easy-to-operate thinking method mentioned in this book is very valuable for a team, which can avoid the confusion of discussion direction and improve efficiency. Wearing hats of different colors only makes the thinking process clearer, more organized, more efficient and more comprehensive. This kind of thinking process only determines the decision-making process, but determines the decision. The content is not determined by this process, but the value judgment of the team.
Using "six thinking hats" to think about the problems existing in our company, will it also have unexpected effects? Judging from my current position, "six thinking hats" let me know how to manage and make good use of my intellectual capital. As the director of the key account department and the director of the group customer center. First of all, I want to make good use of the "white thinking hat" to collect the information of each management station, collect the problems existing in each station, and find the basic data for thinking. Then, put on a "green thinking hat", brainstorm, be brave in innovation, encourage all managers to think with innovative thinking, and put forward their own solutions, good suggestions and good measures. For example, in the face of the crazy marketing of competitors using abnormal means, the methods proposed by everyone with innovative thinking may be wrong or even impossible to implement.
However, the application of innovative thinking mode is to jump out of the general thinking mode. Then, put on "yellow thinking hat" and "black thinking hat" respectively, and analyze all the ideas one by one from "practicality", "bright side" and "benign side", analyze the "infeasibility", "danger" and "hidden danger" of each idea, and find out the best fit point to take action. At this time, put on the "red thinking hat", analyze and screen the screened problems from experience and intuition, and make decisions or decisions. In this process, we have to use the "blue thinking hat" at any time to adjust and control the order of the whole process, and sometimes even brake. Because, the viewpoint may be correct, or it may come to a dead end. Therefore, in the whole process of thinking, we should change our thinking cap at any time and analyze and discuss it from different angles.
Everyone has his own mode of thinking, and some people tend to be conservative (love to use black thinking hat), with strong risk awareness, but lack of constructiveness; Some people are more emotional and do things according to their feelings (often wearing red hats), but they often appear bold and extreme. So these six hats can't be biased towards any one, otherwise the thinking process will be one-sided. If we can consciously use these six thinking hats in the process of thinking and practice and test ourselves regularly, we will gradually form a more scientific and comprehensive way of thinking.
Judging from the process of social development, the factors that determine the fate of enterprises are increasingly concentrated on the management and application of intellectual capital. Thinking is productivity, and thinking is the source of wisdom. Only by fully mastering the art of thinking, excavating and utilizing this scientific "soft" resource full of rationality and civilization, and constantly learning, pursuing and innovating, can we be competent for the post and complete the task!
Thinking after reading six thinking hats 5. The last book, written by a Japanese author, was a thinking weapon taught to me by McKinsey. I wanted to continue to learn how to think deeply, so I thought of the book Six Thinking Hats. Many people should have heard of the name of this book, although they may not have read it, and I am one of them. I have known this book for many years, but I haven't thought about reading it for a long time. Recently, I began to learn the disassembly thinking mode. This book must be read. At the same time, I am also curious whether people in different countries have different unique ways of thinking, and what are the differences in their books on thinking? "Six thinking hats" is simply to divide thinking into six different modules, think separately and then summarize. It is called thinking hat because the image is easy to understand and accept.
Everyone knows the six colors of blue, white, red, yellow, black and green, and it is easy to imagine wearing or taking off hats of different colors, which lays the foundation for unifying the thinking of modules. What are the different thinking modules represented by six different color thinking hats?
Blue: observation and management thinking. The blue hat is responsible for controlling the use order of various thinking hats, planning and managing the whole thinking process, and making conclusions.
White: List the facts and see the whole picture. White hats only care about objective facts and figures.
Red: Express intuition and emotion. Red hat expresses his emotions and can also express his views on intuition, feeling and premonition.
Yellow hat: exploring the infinite possibilities of success. Think positively and express optimistic, hopeful and constructive views.
Black hat: clear the obstacles on the road to success. Black hat can criticize logically with negative, doubtful and questioning viewpoints, express negative opinions and find out logical errors.
Green hat: it will be impossible to become possible. The green hat symbolizes creativity and imagination.
It has the functions of creative thinking, brainstorming and different thinking. Knowing the six thinking hats, I suddenly understand why there is no unified answer to arguing with friends for a long time, because everyone looks at the problem from their own point of view, not from the other side's point of view, let alone from the other side's point of view. Even if the result of the argument is correct? At the same time, do you find that people around you have all kinds of thinking modes? Some people are positive, and the sunshine is always full of hope; Some people criticize negatively and try their best to discourage others; Some people do things by feeling. However, how many people will comprehensively consider every angle of thinking when encountering problems? It seems very few.
Therefore, after reading Six Thinking Hats, I found that it is really a good thinking guide.
First, it will guide the thinking to clearly think about the goal and direction, clearly know what effect you want to achieve this time, and then think in a planned way.
Second, with a clear direction, we naturally know objective facts and data. We can't come up with methods and strategies for no reason, but we should list all the facts and information first, just like showing the whole picture of a map comprehensively and objectively, so it is much easier to choose the route.
Third, everyone has their own habitual mode of thinking, and every time they look at different problems from the same angle. This habit limits our vision and easily leads to disputes and estrangements between people. By using the method of "six thinking hats", everyone can read the problem comprehensively, and at the same time express their own thinking views from the same angle, which not only solves the problem, but also does not hurt harmony, and will not walk into a dead end.
Fourth, negative thinking is no longer a nasty bad thing, but a weapon to avoid failure/loss in advance. If you think about all possible difficulties in advance before you do something, can you plan ahead and save the day? This is the role of negative thinking.
Fifth, be brave in expressing your thoughts, and don't judge the thoughts in your brain before expressing them. Before analyzing and comparing, no one can be sure which idea is useful or useless.
Sixth, hard work is a shortcut to creative thinking. Many people think that they are not creative and can't think of any new ideas. So, should we ask ourselves whether we have left ourselves enough time to think and be creative? I may not be very good at it at first, and I am not satisfied with myself. What if I keep trying?
Seventh, creativity is to challenge the impossible. Only by breaking the framework of thinking can we be more creative. Framework is possibility. We are used to setting the learned and accumulated experience as the framework of the brain. It is possible to meet the requirements, but it is impossible to meet them. However, isn't every invention a challenge to the impossibility in the brain's understanding? Try to think creatively from the opposite angle of common sense, and try to turn ideas that you dare not even think into reality.
Eighth, correct thinking attitude, think as much as possible, instead of dealing with errands, just want to complete the task. Try to think of thinking as a fun game, constantly break through yourself and come up with unlimited ways. Instead of just thinking of one that can explain the problem.
Ninth, using the "six thinking hats", it is best to find an organization manager who does thinking. He can be the host, telling you which step to take, and reminding you not to put on the wrong hat and make the wrong thinking at a specific time of thinking about hats because of habits or emotions. At the same time, he can supervise the thinking process and summarize the content of thinking. There is such a thinking bystander manager to ensure that the thinking process is always in the right direction.
In the future, I believe that "six thinking hats" can become a sharp weapon for thinking, more comprehensive, more convenient and faster. I'm not sure if every Japanese author and British author have different ways of thinking. At least, the author of "Thinking Weapons taught by McKinsey" and the author of "Six Thinking Hats" have different ways of thinking when writing books. Take notes. Although each author's book has a subtitle in each chapter, the Japanese author's book can record the chapter title and subtitle in the notebook. Just like the school blackboard, the main title (question) is added with a subtitle (explanation of the question).
At the same time, the narration in the Japanese author's subtitles will further explain the subtitles and even mark the analysis results of one, two and three. The British author's book, after writing the title in his notes, begins to summarize in his mind to see what can be extracted from his notes. Both methods are very interesting, and we can't say which is better. In fact, both have their own advantages and disadvantages. Japanese books are full of notes, which not only guide thinking, but also limit more thinking. I don't know how to summarize the notes of English books, which exercises my brain's thinking and is easily misinterpreted by readers' inherent thinking, and I don't really understand the meaning of books. Reading, only the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom.
After reading the book Six Thinking Hats, we analyze and think from the perspective of color, which enriches our understanding of the problem.
The book introduces six thinking hats and shows them to us in different colors. White thinking hat is based on facts and data, so let's use rational thinking methods to interpret the pros and cons of the problem. Red thinking hat gives people a vivid feeling, so it represents our emotions and feelings, and the starting point of our actions is based on emotions and feelings, so we should control our emotions and feelings, so as to make the problem-solving develop healthily.
The black thinking hat represents caution and caution. It always disagrees with our suggestion to solve the case from the opposite angle. Although it is always in a hazy thinking process, its existence also makes up for our over-active and one-sided thinking. The yellow thinking hat represents sunshine and progress. It is a positive thinking and constructive thinking about the problem. It broadens our horizons and enables us to face every problem with confidence.
The green thinking hat is full of vigor and vitality. It allows us to look at the problem from a creative perspective and sublimate it, but we need to master the skills to control the degree of sublimation. It's not useless to bring it up It may explain the problem itself, broaden our horizons, and so on. We should accept these opinions, and the implementation of the final opinions is based on our enthusiasm. Blue thinking hat is our rethinking of thinking, which enables us to analyze and solve problems in combination with other thinking hats and complete the supervision and summary of thinking.
In fact, these methods complement each other in the process of thinking, and we can't solve the problem with only one. Flexible application can make our thinking process more perfect.
After reading the seventh chapter of Six Thinking Hats, now when we deal with things, we find that the process can be very different, but it is really necessary to have a clear mind. And the biggest enemy of thinking is chaos. We always try to do too many things at once. We seek information, we are influenced by feelings, we pursue new ideas and choices, we must be careful, and we also seek breakthroughs … because we have too many things to do, which will lead to confusion in our thinking.
Personally, I think six thinking hats tell us how to classify these things and how to think clearly. Let us think more clearly.
To eliminate yourself, you must think quickly and effectively, and the biggest obstacle is yourself. People always tend to defend themselves in the process of thinking-thinking is always used for others, or for attacking and knocking others down. Thinking is used to draw your own conclusions and prove how smart you are. Sometimes some people disagree with someone just because they want to expose others. If another person says the same point, he may agree with it completely. We usually don't fully realize how broken self-awareness is for effective thinking. We haven't considered how to achieve the best result.
Six thinking hats mean that we can start from all directions and think differently. Let's be more organized and clear.
The first kind of thinking: looking for the advantages and bright side of things (yellow)
The second kind of thinking: creative thinking (green)
The third way of thinking: collect information objectively and comprehensively (white)
The fourth way of thinking: look at the problem from feeling, intuition and sensibility (red)
The fifth way of thinking: look at the problem from the shortcomings and hidden dangers of things (black)
The sixth kind of thinking: control and organization in thinking (blue)
In application, we use hats of different colors to represent different thinking. Then the author divides these into different hats and uses this hat as a thinking tool when we need to think calmly. When we need to make a decision, we can use all the hats once and let ourselves see everything through thinking. When our team is at a low ebb, what we need most is a yellow thinking hat. What we may need when we break through is a black hat to make us better. When we want to seek a breakthrough, we need to use more green hats. As a manager, you should always use the idea of black hat. You need to use a yellow hat or something when you pass it down.
Let's use different thinking to make our ideas and goals clearer!
After reading six thinking hats, I heard my training teacher, Mr. Du, say six thinking hats for the first time. Now Mr. Du's main training course is to teach people creative thinking. I heard that it is mainly about the idea of six thinking hats and how to use this idea to think and innovate. I heard that it is still very popular. He spent most of the year talking about this course, which influenced many people! It's a pity that I haven't had a chance to listen to his open class. So I bought Edward. De. Bono's Six Thinking Hats was read to satisfy his curiosity. Secondly, I also hope to influence and improve my way of thinking.
The book Six Thinking Hats is very thin, but the content is not "thin". The advertisement of this book is really loud. It is said to be the first book of global innovative thinking training, and also known as one of the most valuable business books in the 20th century. I just finished reading it, and I feel a little foggy. The first feeling is that it is too abstract. The whole book has been talking about the thinking mode of six thinking hats, which is very theoretical, difficult to understand and needs more time to ponder. Words are not difficult to understand, but I think whether they can be used in practice is a benchmark to judge whether they are understood. It's not that easy! Recently, when I just exchanged lectures with Mr. Du, Mr. Du instructed that to talk about theory and reason, we must talk about theory from the outside to the inside, from the superficial to the deep, from everyday cases that are easy to understand in life to our own cases, so that students can understand it easily. Because of this, I am a bit picky.
Bono's concept of six thinking hats puts forward that I think there are two main purposes, or benefits. The first is to simplify thinking so that thinkers can only do one thing at a time and think in one direction. Thinkers don't have to give consideration to emotion, logic, information, hope and creativity at the same time. He can handle it alone. The white thinking hat thinks about objective facts and data; Red thinking hat provides perceptual view, and looks at the problem from feeling, intuition and sensibility; Black thinking hat means caution and caution, pointing out the risks of any point of view. Look at the problem from the shortcomings and hidden dangers of things; Yellow thinking hat is optimistic and hopeful positive thinking; Green thinking hat points to creativity and new ideas, and considers problems with innovative thinking; Blue thinking hat is the control and organization of thinking process and other thinking hats.
If it is a meeting to discuss problems, you can express your views in the same direction without arguing, and then make a choice and choose the best one. The second purpose is to let thinkers freely change their way of thinking. When someone keeps making negative remarks at the meeting, you can ask him to take off his black thinking hat, and then ask him to put on another thinking hat to look at the problem from another angle. Hehe, is it fun? It is funny that foreigners express this invisible thinking in a tangible form (although this thinking hat of different colors does not exist in the real thing, it is still a sensible form). According to the author's understanding, many foreign companies have achieved good results through this idea, which I think should be effective. However, with the seriousness and rigidity of China people, I don't think it is very easy to practice. Even if it can be done, the estimated effect will be greatly reduced. However, as far as personal thinking mode is concerned, it is still effective, if you are willing to think like this. I think, at least the decisions you make and the things you see can be more objective and accurate, so that you can make the most reasonable and effective choice.
