Thinking like a fox,and work like the hedgehog

A friend of mine send me a mail, small and medium enterprises have been in trouble, the banks are not constantly aggravate them, who? I said to be their own. I have a very good friend, chairman of the Olympic Games than during the busy athletes also busy, busy, he became partners after the Olympic Games from corporate profits accumulated bit by bit in his Olympic dream burned marketing. I asked him, can not burn it? There is the desire to give up and stop it? He said no, no. I said, you quickly ready for the winter coat, and must now. Who knows, a few days, he sent a text message that said Secretary of the print, I wrote several articles on small and medium enterprises Sheng Sijie, plus one day on his money all at once Do not remember the chain? Why? It was a bank of 50,000,000 yuan of loans due, he moved east of the West Bank are to be put together as he has in the past. I say you are wrong, you are a bank refused to correct.
As a result, I think of the word philosopher Isaiah Berlin: There are two people in the world, fox and the hedgehog. At the same time, the pursuit of a fox a lot of goals, to see the complexity of the world; hedgehog while simplifying the complex world into a basic idea, and guidelines for the integration of all things. Coincidentally, Xiguang read in the "transformation of journalism", he quoted an American correspondent: We do not write too difficult or too complex information, we do not write that we will cut off the lifeline of news, we do not write too much deviation from those At present, the mainstream press bias! Qu also varies with the workers. However, the number of cunning like a fox, like, dead last in the hands of hunters, like how many unknown, like the hedgehog, the final by virtue of very sharp at the core competitiveness of quiet hibernation to a good degree of cold each winter cool?
From mediocre to great, actually two words: professional, adhere to. As Jim Collins said, you ask yourself three questions: What is your greatest passion? What do you do may be the best in the world? What drives your economic engine? These three issues for the painting of the three cross the ring, where the coincidence is your main site and.
Who is Jim Collins?
Jim Collins (Jim Collins) have been Stanford University School of Business Outstanding Teaching Award, has worked at McKinsey and Hewlett-Packard. And Jerry. I. Bole Si co-author of "Built to Last".
"Bell-made, rather than time." Jim Collins believes that "the great founder of the company's manufacturing is usually the clock, not time. They focused on the creation of a clock, not just looking for the opportunity to use a forward-looking products into the market ; They are not committed to the vision of the leader of the personality traits, but the company is committed to building a forward-looking nature of the organization, they are creations of the largest companies on behalf of itself and all. "
In fact most of the leaders of the Chinese enterprises in the "bell-made" not successful. "Bell-made" is to establish a mechanism to allow the company to rely on the strength of the organization in the survival and development of the market, without having to rely on a person, product or by accident, and other opportunities. With the market to further improve and standardize, enterprises must increasingly rely on a good mechanism, including good structure, good evaluation of the evaluation system, good strategic management. All the great companies are "pragmatic idealist" and "profit is a necessary condition for survival, but also to reach a more important means to an end, but a lot of forward-looking companies, not an end in profit, profit is like the human body needs Oxygen, food, water and blood, these are not things of life. However, they do not, there will be no life. "A profit on the pursuit of the great companies, is to be" religious culture as "indoctrination. For Chinese enterprises, "the pursuit of profit above the" clear, non-specific and is often empty slogans. Most Chinese enterprises do not realize the important role of the corporate culture. "Sect-like culture" refers to the great company must have a strong shared values, which is China's enterprises to become a great company of the greatest challenges.
This should be a hedgehog-based company's philosophy of survival, right? !
Jim Collins's view is that from the aspect of love, achievements to Albert, there must be a lasting effort fascinated, if not love from the start that he did not believe we can do. Even if you do not naturally good at, because you work hard, you do well, but in the end you are in the 45-year-old when awakening: Qian Zheng, despite a lot, but do not love their own thing, then, if you have depression Cage. A small number of people the opportunity to choose, more people choose to love, almost the same number of people to choose good. The final success of those who persevered, but those who choose to love.
Four or five years ago, reading "From Good to excellent" experience is not deep, Jim Collins may have not thought of a few years after the business environment changes have led to the discovery of new readers. Regardless of changes, like a fox, like thinking, as well as the work of hedgehog. You are not successful is difficult.
Can be a reality is that many clever fox, the hedgehog simply less and less, this is a big problem.
