COVERS : The red hat allows the thinker to put forward an intuition without any need to justify it. ‘Putting on my red hat, I think this is a terrible proposal.’ Usually feelings and intuition can only be introduced into a discussion if they are supported by logic. Often the feeling is genuine but the logic is questionable. The red hat gives full permission to a thinker to put forward his or her feelings on the subject at the moment.
FOCUS : Usually, feelings and intuition can only be introduced into a discussion if they are supported by logic.

• This proposal is terrible.
• My intuition tells me that prices will fall soon.
The red hat allows feelings to come into the discussion without pretending to be anything else. It is always valuable to get feelings out into the open.
