Journal #11

This week we talked about the six different thinking hats.  I really enjoyed looking at thinking this way because it makes us all think about how we approach situations.  It also made me think about how others around me approach situations/ what hat they wear.  I personally would say that I wear the blue hat most of the time.  I am always thinking about what is needed and how we can best go about it.  I also want to keep the group as organized as possible.  I guess this is seen as the leader in the group.  I do not necessarily want to be the leader but I want to be that backbone that can support a group through anything.  With that said I think another hat that I may wear is the yellow one.  When doing a group project I always want to keep everyone’s feelings in consideration.  By being positive about others ideas I can hope to keep the morale of the group up beat.  Another great aspect about the yellow hat is that by making everyone’s ideas appear useful, we may be able to expand and create even better ideas.  Whatever the group situation I am happy to switch between my two hats to help us achieve our goal.
