The Basics
  • There are six different imaginary hats that you
    can put on or take off.
  • Think of the hats as thinking icons.
  • Each hat is a different color and represents a
    different type or mode of thinking.
  • We all wear the same hat (do the same type of
    thinking) at the same time.
  • When we change hats - we change our thinking.

  • Sets the focus, calls for the use of other hats.
  • Monitors and reflects on the thinking processes
    used.
  • Blue is for planning.

The Red Hat

    thinking.
