Six Thinking Hats

The multi-million bestselling guide to running better meetings and making faster decisions

Summary

THE MULTI-MILLION COPY BESTSELLING PHENOMENON

Do you regularly find yourself in long, unstructured meetings which end without a decision? Are you a team leader looking for tips on increasing productivity? Or are you looking for ways to enhance collaboration?

Six Thinking Hats, Edward de Bono's classic book on meetings, remains as relevant as ever. Used to huge success by big companies and organisations such as IBM, Siemens and NASA, the Six-Hats method is a proven way to:

- Reduce meeting lengths to one quarter of what they were previously
- Make decisions in just 15 minutes, rather than 3 hours
- Increase productivity by nearly 500%

This extremely simple tool not only increases efficiency in discussions and decision-making, but also encourages openness and trust among colleagues, resulting in happier team, a rise in productivity, and decisions which almost make themselves.

In 1967 de Bono invented the now commonly used term 'lateral thinking' and, for many thousands, indeed millions, of people worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into 34 languages, and his advice is sought by Nobel laureates and world leaders alike.
