I found the hedgehog concept in the reading pretty interesting
this week. I thought it brought up some very good points about thinking of what
your company can be best in the world at, what your people feel most passionate
about, and what drives your economic engine to generate profits. It’s important
to be reflective and think about what you and the people you work with really
want to achieve and what you can work towards. Being passionate and striving to
be the best are so important for goal setting in any capacity, because it helps
you know where you’re coming from and where you want to go.
One of
my favorite quotes from the reading was “The real question is not, ‘Why
greatness?’ but ‘What work makes you feel compelled to try to create
greatness?’ If you have to ask the question, ‘Why should we try to make it
great? Isn’t success enough?’ Then you’re probably engaged in the wrong line of
work.” – Jim Collins. This makes me realize that we can’t just go through life
going through the motions and doing things simply because they work. If we
really want satisfaction and fulfillment, we should work towards things we are
passionate about achieving.
