My   job and role requires all hats at various
 times throughout the program lifecycle
Experience helps, but you dont have to know it
 all  trust the diversity of your team members
Personally most comfortable with Blue
 Organizing Hat(very process oriented) and the
 White Hat (logical, data gathering)
Always watch others and learn from them
Never wear any one hat too long  keep
 changing
Give team members a chance to grow into
 these hats
