Reading the book Good to Great, the first idea was really for me was where the "Hedgehog Concept". This was mostly for me because the three ideas. But my favorite was the idea that she is passionate about what to do with you. In my college career I was originally going to be a big accounting. I took all the lower classes and upper division classes even started my Division. After spending my first upper division class, I wondered: is thisThat's what I see for the rest of my life? You see how the ideas of Jim Collins book, I was not excited about this profession.
I decided that I could do accounting, but I wanted to be really happy and enhance my skills so I'm better, switch marketing. I learned more from this book you will be passionate about your decisions and job you are working in. If you have a passion for something more in youField therefore had no other field. You'll also notice that it is more blessed to work and not just any nine to five job that consumes your life. They will constantly improve your skills and crave the best in your specific area. For these reasons, I think it's important to be as a passion for your work. It was great to learn more, and I thought that far along with level 5 leader.
In the booksays that a level 5 leader very humble man with drive and desire to succeed. I liked to know more about this, because it fits so well what I learned from the Hedgehog concept. If your passion for your work, you get more satisfaction to learn and the best. As part of humility that I learned that it is important to strengthen the others. It 'important to a leader, be an example and almost a cheerleader for your team are. Should not be removedtheir results and remember always, your team, if you do a good job. The next part that I thought was very important the quote big companies to adapt and resist. "
Every day I try the latest technology so that it can obtain the minimum advantage'm learning. This is important for companies because it has a slight advantage that their strength can be compared to the competitor. But more importantly, that technology should emphasize the benefit of other employees. Ithink that too many companies maximize their potential because they fear will fail to embrace the technology. Kodak is a perfect example. Kodak cameras were all the rage, had the largest market first digital camera.
It 'been said many times that the market would soon switch to digital is not as big market for their film cameras this year. They blew off course, these ideas because they were the largest film company. Fast forward to today, Kodak islost much of its market share due to the change in the film to digital. If they had adjusted and endured, and not afraid to think technology would control the market now. I use this example only because that point in my personal life I must remain on the state of the art, so it can survive and hopefully also the control of the market that do.
Finally, this book has taught me much of what it takes to be an effective leader. Also, I learned tomake me more marketable future employers. I can start immediately to work for the various features of this book learned, so I'll get a job tomorrow.
