Of course, any attribute, concept or idea is meaningless without its opposite. All behaviour consists of opposites…Learn to see things backwards, inside out, and upside down. <U><SPAN></SPAN></U></SPAN></p> <P class="MsoNormal"><U><SPAN class="MsoHyperlink"><STRONG><A href="http://members.optusnet.com.au/%7Echarles57/Creative/Techniques/sixhats.htm">Six Thinking Hats</A></STRONG></SPAN></U></p> <P class="MsoNormal"><SPAN>The method promotes fuller input from more people. In de Bono’s words it “separates ego from performance”. Everyone is able to contribute to the exploration without denting egos as they are just using the yellow hat or whatever hat. The six hats system encourages performance rather than ego defense. People can contribute under any hat even though they initially support the opposite view.</SPAN></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/496B530E-7A65-4404-B20F-B0C7FAD07104/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
