Six Thinking Hats is a self-help book which describes a tool for group discussion and individual thinking involving six colored hats. "Six Thinking Hats" and the associated idea parallel thinking provide a means for groups to plan thinking processes in a detailed and cohesive way, and in doing so to think together more effectively.
Coloured hats are used as metaphors for each direction. Switching to a direction is symbolized by the act of putting on a coloured hat, either literally or metaphorically. These metaphors allow for a more complete and elaborate segregation of the thinking directions. The six thinking hats indicate problems and solutions about an idea the thinker may come up with.

What is the best way to live a longer and healthier life? Experts and those who live longer lives have their approaches and tips. One should research, select and practice the ways that best suits oneself. This is my 3 Ways to Live Longer - My Way. Do it Your Way.
One critical factor how successful organizations efficiently and effectively strategize and implement key plans and projects to achieve their objectives and goals is the fact that these organizations adopt and practice proven business concepts and models. Those organizations that do not will fail and fail again despite their best efforts.
This presentation lists useful business concepts and models learned, designed and applied in my Training, Facilitation and Instructional Design work
Senior Managers in many organizations assume that leadership competencies come with their positions. This may be surprising but true and when learning and development are proposed , these are almost always meant for staff in the levels below Senior Managers. In fact, Senior Managers may feel that any proposal for them to attend training is an insult to their intelligence and competence.
John Maxwell emphasized that “The single best way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raised them up as leaders and continually develops them”.
This presentation offers one concept for leadership development of Senior Managers for consideration.
Studies and surveys have revealed that although many organizations have the right strategies they failed to achieve the targeted objectives due to poor implementation of the action plans or simply bad execution.
These organizations would have achieved success with Flawless Execution which is the implementation of systems, action plans, techniques and tools to ensure strategies that are effectively formulated are effectively executed to achieve the desired goal.
Your Pleasing Personality is your greatest asset or liability. It embraces everything you control - your mind, your body, and your soul. Your personality is your trademark and It is through your personality that you motivate others to help you to reach your goals.
Pleasing Personality is one of Napoleon Hill’s 17 Principles of Success.
Successful leaders create a network of people around themselves and use these networks to keep informed, to develop opinions, to make decisions, and to execute their agendas.
As per Sallie Krawcheck, Networking is the No.1 unwritten rule of success in business
One of the leadership qualities that is often lacking is Caring. Generally, leaders are so focussed on organizational and personal performances and success that they overlook to care for others. They are also focussed on improving their management and technical skills but their people skills improvement needs are often ignored.
This presentation provides 15 Core Qualities of Caring Leadership that leaders should constantly demonstrate.
In any business, ethics is a crucial factor to sustain the business as unethical behavior significantly increases the cost of doing business and customers will just shy away. As such, a company ethics policy should be implemented to provide management, executives and other employees with specific guidelines on acceptable and unacceptable business practices.
Compliance with the ethics policy should be monitored and appropriate disciplinary actions should be taken against violators to deter wrongdoing, compel accountability and promote adherence to the policy.
If you have a healthy bank balance and good income generating investments, you have managed your personal finances well and this presentation is not for you. If you think you need to manage your finances better, there are ways to help you live within your means, stay well clear of undesirable debts and apply some useful personal finances techniques.
Your future is not whatever will be will be. You have to think of the life you would like to have, what success means to you and design the future you want to create for yourself. This will help you focus on what actions you need to achieve your goals.
Having a clearly defined future and goals will also help you to:
- improve your academic or work performance
- increase your motivation to achieve
- boost your pride and satisfaction
- enhance your self-confidence
- raise your enthusiasm in life
In order to determine how much participants learn and benefit from attending learning programs and how much the learning has impacted performance, learning evaluation is critical. Unfortunately, many organizations do not place great importance in learning evaluations - just getting general reactions from the participants or completing simple Questions & Answers tests.
The more effectively you can measure and prove competence, the more likely you can turn learning into a tangible corporate benefit. To be effective, assessment cannot be an afterthought or instructional add-on. It needs to be embedded, contextualized, and executed within the learning process.
Timothy R. Clark in his book “The Employee Engagement Mindset” describes in detail the Six Drivers for tapping into the hidden potential of everyone in your company. “ It shifts the paradigm of engagement from an employer-centered model to an employee-centered view. By emphasizing shared manager and personal responsibility, coupled with intrinsic motivation, you will dramatically increase employee engagement.”
This presentation summarizes the key points of the Six Drivers and this book is highly recommended.
As a Leader you make decisions all the time but at times, you have to make really difficult decisions. What would you do? Would you think carefully through your choices and then make the decisions with enthusiasm and confidence? Or would you react with hesitancy or delay to “buy time” and hope that the problem would be resolved by itself?
How wonderful it would be for you to think through your options and improve your chances of making high quality decisions by fully understanding the principles of decision making and applying the right decision making process.
Managing Stress for a Healthier and Productive LifeWong Yew Yip
For many of us, more so for those in leadership positions, stress is an unavoidable part of our daily routines. Stress is the cause of a variety of physical symptoms, everything from headache, indigestion, fatigue and weight gain. In extreme cases, people can worry themselves to death! The problem is that many people do not know how to recognize signs of stress until it is already at a stage where it is taking a physiological toll on the body and possibly affecting their health and work.
Therefore, learning to manage your stress load is critical to your mental and physical wellbeing. You must understand the most common types and stages of stress and know how to spot them so that you can manage your stress better. This will help you to work more productively, build better relationships and live a healthier life.
Pre-Retirement - Preparing for a New BeginningWong Yew Yip
Inevitably, your time to retire from your working life will come and a plethora of changes awaits you, some good, some not so good, others may even be unpleasant. This will be a new beginning for you. If you have planned for it, then you are fully prepared for it, you will welcome it and you will be retiring on your own terms. If you have yet to make any plans, no more procrastinating, just do it! This presentation will help you in your planning for a healthy, secure and fulfilling life upon retirement.
Strategic Thinking with Sun Tzu Art of WarWong Yew Yip
It is truly amazing that even after 2,500 years the principles under Sun Tzu Art of War are very much relevant today and are adapted by many in almost every aspect of life, militarily, economically, politically and even socially.
Sun Tzu Art of War has been translated into English by numerous authors making it easily readable. However, some with little knowledge of the Chinese culture may find difficulty in fully understanding the art of war principles.
This is an attempt to highlight the key strategies as simple as possible for better understanding and also to present a Sun Tzu Art of War tool for application of the strategies.
“Leaders become great, not because of their power, but because of their ability to empower others” ~ John Maxwell.
One key way to empower your team is Coaching and Mentoring, and this quick guide on coaching and mentoring may be useful.
A leader, without fail, has to make presentations to report on performance, training of staff, facilitating strategy sessions, motivating staff and many other purposes.
To ensure that your presentations achieve the desired objectives, some of the contents can be of help to leaders to make impactful presentations.
“Your mental attitude is the medium by which you can balance your life and your relationship to people and circumstances - to attract what you desire.
We are all born equal in the sense that we all have equal access to the Great Principle - the right to control our thoughts and mental attitude. A positive Mental Attitude is the greatest of life’s riches … it is through this attitude that anything worthwhile is achieved.” ~ Napoleon Hill
People often complain about the lack of time - there are so many things to do and so little time. Actually the lack of time management is the problem.
The question is how do you manage your time? Once you have mastered time, you will be surprised how much you can accomplish with whatever time you have.
