The primary diagnosis is a chronic lack of focus. In the management classic Good to Great, James Collins uses a Greek parable to distinguish between two leadership types: the fox, who pursues many complex paths, and the hedgehog, who simplifies a complex world into a single organizing idea. Collins argues that greatness is achieved through a "Hedgehog Concept" which is a singular focus found at the intersection of three circles: what a company can be the best in the world at, what it is deeply passionate about, and what drives its economic engine.
