Six Action Shoes
by Edward de Bono

Mini-review by Jim Young

Six colors, six shoe styles, six action styles – mix and match for any of fifteen combinations. An action-oriented companion for "Six Thinking Hats." Its value is to help you do something – not to analyze what has been done.
Navy formal shoes - routines and formal procedures
Grey sneakers - exploration, investigation and collection of evidence
Brown brogues - practicality and pragmatism
Orange gumboots - danger and emergency action
Pink slippers - care, compassion and attention to human feelings and sensitivities
Purple riding boots - authority and command

For the record, de Bono wrote this book in a single session on a flight from London to Auckland, New Zealand.
