Your Personal Hedgehog
The Hedgehog Concept
Jim Collins – Good to Great (Chapter Five)
The Personal Analogy
Suppose you were able to construct a work life match that meets the following three tests.
You are doing work for which you have a genetic or God-given talent, and perhaps you could become one of the best in the world in applying that talent.
I feel that I was born to be doing this!
You are paid for what you do…playing to your strengths more than 75% of the time.
I get paid to do this!
You are doing work you are passionate about and that aligns with your purpose and values, enjoying the actual process for its own sake.
I look forward to getting up and throwing myself into my daily work, and really believe in what I’m doing!
If you could drive toward the intersection of these three circles and translate that intersection into a simple, crystalline concept that guided your life choices, then you’d have your personal Hedgehog.
Whats the Point
Your achievements and personal fulfillment depend on your commitment.
You are a person who has an extraordinary ability to do extraordinary things. Those extraordinary things are innate talents. They are of great worth and value. Whether you can identify them now or not, they are there.
Maximizing Your Strengths© is a process that not only helps you discover your strengths but also helps you learn how to shape your current job and career choices around your strengths.
Management expert, Peter Drucker states, “Most Americans do not know what their strengths are. When you ask them, they look at you with a blank stare, or they respond in terms of subject knowledge, which is the wrong answer.”
Having a personal mission statement provides you with a singular focus to life, especially in difficult and challenging times.
People long to be able to say, “I am doing what I was created to do. I contributed to the world in a signifcant manner. I lived with a clear purpose.” MissionBuilder© is designed to give you confidence and clarity as you answer those questions.
Stephen Covey refers to crafting a mission statement as “connecting with your own unique purpose and the profound satisfaction that comes in fulfilling it.” The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
