"Anyone on the planet can be connected to any other person on the planet through a chain of acquaintances that has no more than five intermediaries."

                                                        ----Six degrees of separation

The theory above turns correcter and greater to my own experience recently. And I believe everybody will be hugely benefited if he knows how to use the theory effectively and how to manage his resources of interpersonal relationship efficiently.

"HOW" should fall into three aspects or steps I think:

1. Try to associate with as many persons who have rich resources of social relationship as possible. Everything and everyone are connected with each other in the world, that' s to say, who controls more resources, who is the King.Therefore, please do often remind yourself of digging the potential social relationship sources around you, through your family, relatives, friends, teachers, classmates, etc.

2. When you've grasped the opportunity to train with some such kind of persons. Please do keep in touch with them consistently even they may make no differences to you currently. Cellphone message and E-mail could be the best ways to keep the relationship when you can't meet them constantly.

3. If you wanna make your resources more valuable, you should make yourself more valuable first! When you have increased your value, you will increase the value of the persons you have known above as well. And at that time, a well-rounded social  relationship network will appear ultimately.

Thinking performance drives business performance. Most mistakes in business are mistakes in thinking. Decisions are poorly thought through. Risk factors are overlooked. Faulty information is taken as fact. Ideas are killed far too early. Benefits aren’t built into solutions — customers have no idea why they should embrace your new efforts. Changes backfire.

If any of this describes the condition at your company we can help you improve the thinking performance of your employees. The end result for your company:

• Increases in bottom-line profit.

• Increases in top-line growth.

• More time to develop meaningful customer relationships.

• More time to work on what’s important to develop the business.

• A happier and more motivated workforce

The Six Thinking Hats Process and Tools

When teams engage in six hats thinking they are practicing parallel thinking — everyone is using the same tool at the same time on the same challenge. This speeds up the discussion saving everyone time. Each person’s unique thinking on the challenge is included which ensures a stronger solution is implemented, supported and is well thought out.

Six Thinking Hats training will equip your teams with a process and proven tools to participate in productive thinking together meetings and work independently on projects. You will see measurable improvements in: practical solutions developed that can be implemented and supported; written reports, proposals, e-mail messages that are clear, compelling, balanced and complete in thought.
