The Hedgehog Concept
From Good to Great by Jim Collins
Jim Collins wrote about an idea called the Hedgehog Concept in his book Good to Great. We mention the Hedgehog concept in Part One of P.O.W.E.R. Tools @ Work. This is the intersection of the three circles shown on the right. When organizations find that spot in the middle, they have a much higher chance of lasting success.
This concept works for individuals as well. In that case the three circles would be labeled a bit differently: What you are passionate about and love to do, What you were born to do, and What you can get paid to do.
Collins warns us that most people suffer from the curse of competence: they are good at many things, but not many things fall into the intersection.
There is a lot of additional information about this important concept at Jim's website.

In Part Two, we share this story. Click on the picture on the left for a video of this song.
Tell me somethin', girl
Are you happy in this modern world?
Or do you need more?
Is there somethin' else you're searchin' for?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself
Tell me something, boy
Aren't you tired tryin' to fill that void?
Or do you need more?
Ain't it hard keeping it so hardcore?
I'm falling
In all the good times I find myself
Longin' for change
And in the bad times I fear myself
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
Oh, oh, oh,
oh Whoah!
I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in
I'll never meet the ground
Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us
We're far from the shallow now
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
In the shallow, shallow
We're far from the shallow now
