yWhat leadership is required?
Archilochus - “The fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.”
A hedgehog concept is not a goal to be the best, a strategy to be the best or an intention to be the best. It is an understanding of what you can be the best at for the marketplace you are in.
The distinction is absolutely crucial!

yDo we REALLY distribute
leadership?1. Look into this problem. Give me all the facts. I will decide what to do.2. Let me know the options available with the pros and cons of each. I will decide what to select.3. Let me know the criteria for your recommendation, which alternatives you have identified and which one appears best to you with any risk identified. I will make the decision.4. Recommend a course of action for my approval.5. Let me know what you intend to do. Delay action until I approve.6. Let me know what you intend to do. Do it unless I say not to.7. Take action. Let me know what you did. Let me know how it turns out.8. Take action. Communicate with me only if the action is unsuccessful.9. Take action. No further communication with me is necessary.
