Assignment: Personal Hedgehog Concept Exercise


Write a one-page reflection that outlines:

  • What you believe you can be the best at in your workplace or industry.

  • How this aligns with your professional "economic engine" (e.g., your unique value to the organisation).

"Good is the enemy of great. And that is one of the key reasons why we have so little that becomes great. We don’t have great schools, principally because we have good schools. We don’t have great government, principally because we have good government. Few people attain great lives, in large part because it is just so easy to settle for a good life."
