How to Make a Positive Difference as Fully as Possible
Updated on Sep, 2023
Language - English
Course Description
In so many walks of life we are trying to make a positive difference. But, how effective we are will depend on a number of factors. So, maximizing our effectiveness can be a difficult undertaking. This course has been developed to help you get as close to optimal effectiveness as you can. It is built on Edward de Bono’s ‘Six Thinking Hats’ model, but extended to include the very important seventh thinking hat, the Gold hat of equality and diversity.
Edward de Bono is world famous for his work on lateral thinking and other aspects of how the mind works. His six-thinking hats model for maximizing your effectiveness has been highly praised for offering a systematic approach to producing the best results. The approach is explained in the course and its usefulness highlighted.
Dr Neil Thompson has used this approach to very good effect (and with very positive feedback) as the basis of training workshops on maximizing effectiveness, but has felt the need to also discuss the missing dimension of equality and diversity. He has therefore added a seventh hat to fill that gap.
So, if you are interested in getting the best results in whatever projects your work involves, this course should be a great help to you.
