In order to deduce a decision, one has to stray outside the usual way of one's thinking style, which is more or less based on his or her habit at the best of times. Ultimately, this facilitates in giving a more rational and complete view of the situation as a whole. 6 thinking hats - the tool was created by Edward de Bono and was a part of his book, which was incidentally named as '6 thinking hats'.
