Evaluating possibilities of errors...

Dear Friends,
There is a management guru called who is called as guru of negative thinking who advocates magic of negative thinking for success…wearing Black Hat is about being cautious ,careful ,it’s about evaluating the possibilities of errors….
·         Black Hat:Using black hat thinking, look at all the bad points of the decision. Look at it cautiously and defensively. Try to see why it might not work. This is important because it highlights the weak points in a plan. It allows you to eliminate them, alter them, or prepare contingency plans to counter them.
·         Black Hat thinking helps to make your plans 'tougher' and more resilient. It can also help you to spot fatal flaws and risks before you embark on a course of action. Black Hat thinking is one of the real benefits of this technique, as many successful people get so used to thinking positively that often they cannot see problems in advance. This leaves them under-prepared for difficulties.
Black Hat Philosophy:
  • Serious, sober
  • Screening for impossible, unusable
  • Challenge the alternatives
  • Cautious and careful
  • Logical negative – why it won’t work
  • Critical judgement, pessimistic view
  • Separates logical negative from emotional
  • Focus on errors, evidence, conclusions
  • Logical & truthful, but not necessarily fair .
Hope this approach helps you in making decisions on both fronts.
Thank you.

White Thinking Hat....

Dear Friends,
Each 'Thinking Hat' is a different style of thinking.                                                                                                                                                                             Six colors of hats for six types of thinking.
          Each hat identifies a type of thinking
          Hats are directions of thinking
z  Hats help a group use parallel thinking
          You can “put on” and “take off” a hat
Let’s get started with the first Hat….
White Hat : (Facts & figures )z 
z  White Hat:
With this thinking hat you focus on the data available. Look at the information you have, and see what you can learn from it. Look for gaps in your knowledge, and either try to fill them or take account of them.This is where you analyze past trends, and try to extrapolate from historical data. This is where you analyze things from a logical and expectation point of view which is about justifying your stand from the point of view of results as expected by the superiors.
z  Questions: what do we know, what don’t we know, what do we need to know.
z  Excludes opinions, hunches, judgements .
z  Removes feelings & impressions.
z  Two tiers of facts :  
          Believed Facts
          Checked Facts       
 As is said data gives us confidence and courage while projecting the efforts and justifying what has been done ,achieved towards expected results….hence White Hat is absolutely a Analytical Tool which helps us in projecting the facts and figures …the data before superiors.
Wish you a great day ahead.
Thank you.

Managerial Decision Making..


Dear Friends,

Edword De Bono’s world famous book,”6 Thinking Hats” on different perspectives about Thinking ,has been the milestone in the world of Managerial Decision Making ,it has added great dimension to one of the key ingredients of success in both the fronts of an individual…his research has brought  great amount of awareness and recognition about the Power Of Thinking. It is nothing but looking at a decision from all point of view…

Developing different perspectives.
'Six Thinking Hats' is an important and powerful technique. It is used to look at decisions from a number of important perspectives. This forces you to move outside your habitual thinking style, and helps you to get a more rounded view of a situation. Many successful people think from a very rational, positive viewpoint. This is part of the reason that they are successful. Often, though, they may fail to look at a problem from an emotional, intuitive, creative or negative viewpoint. This can mean that they underestimate resistance to plans, fail to make creative leaps and do not make essential contingency plans.
Similarly, pessimists may be excessively defensive, and more emotional people may fail to look at decisions calmly and rationally. If you look at a problem with the 'Six Thinking Hats' technique, then you will solve it using all approaches. Your decisions and plans will mix ambition, skill in execution, public sensitivity, creativity and good contingency plan.
Let us study these Hats in detail from tomorrow…
Wishing you a great week ahead.                                                                                                                                                                                        Thank Thank you.

Rejuvenating social life....

Dear Friends,

The mass celebration of the festival goes back to a small beginning made by Lokmanya Bal Gangadhar Tilak  with a view to spread brotherhood ,social unity amongst people of varied backgrounds ,it was aimed at awakening the mass towards social good…with the kind of celebration that happens across India and abroad it happens to be the biggest festival that we Indians celebrate after Diwali. When people fight for their livelihood and survival ,life gets flooded with many worries and issues, tensions of many sort ,this  mass celebration rejuvenates the social life ,refreshes the minds the hearts so much so that people get a new enthusiasm towards fighting with life again….

Even during the  times of recession during Diwali or so one could find a positive energy ,ray of hopes within the society at large…thus this kind of social events play a great role in bringing the social fabrics at it’s smoothest  so that minds get energized towards making  all new efforts in leading a happy life….
