GOOD to GREAT: The Roadmap
Jim Collins said that “Good is the enemy of Great”… Good can easily be achieved, however, becoming great is a quantum leap.
Most people strive for greatness, regardless of their area or industry, it is an innate human desire to become the best in a chosen field.
In order to move from Good to Great, I’m going to use as a reference a famous essay “The Hedgehog and the Fox” by Isaiah Berlin. In his essay, he divided the world into two groups, based on an ancient Greek proverb, which pitted the two natural enemies against each other.
- Foxes pursue many ends at the same time and see the world in all its complexity; they are scattered or diffused, moving on many levels, never integrating their thinking into one overall concept or unifying vision.
- Hedgehogs, on the other hand, simplify a complex world into a single idea or principle that unifies and guides everything. Regardless of the world’s complexity, the hedgehog reduces all challenges and dilemmas to simple ideas — anything that does not somehow relate to the hedgehog idea holds no relevance.
When foxes and hedgehogs are pitted against one another, the hedgehog always wins.
The wisdom from this story can be illustrated by a simple yet powerful concept that flows from a deep understanding of the intersection of the three key dimensions (see the image above):
● What you love. To become Great, focus on doing what you love most. If you don’t want to settle for Good, give yourself permission to dedicate your life and your most precious resources of time, space, energy, money, and relationships to do what you love. What you love cannot be manufactured, it’s innate within you, and when you organise your whole world around what you love, you live an inspired and meaningful life and you radiate greatness.
● What you can be best at. This is not a goal or strategy to be the best at something; it is an understanding of what you can be the best at and, almost equally important, what you cannot be the best at. Choose what you want to be best at, focus on that One Thing, simplify your complex world, and home onto the one competency you would love to dedicate your life to.
● What the world needs. Your ability to have a great impact, make the greatest difference in your own life and the life of others, and build great wealth is directly proportional to what the world needs. The more the world needs what you love and what you’re the best at, the more you’ll prosper spiritually, mentally, vocationally, financially, socially, and physically.
At the intersection of these three dimensions lies greatness and a purposeful & prosperous life.
In Nutshell:
To move from Good to Great, focus your most precious resources on these 3 key dimensions:
1) What you love most,
2) What you can be best at, and
3) What the world needs.
When you integrate all three dimensions into your life, you’ve found the key to your greatness and a purposeful & prosperous life.
