Jim Collins' "Hedgehog Principle" applied to individual careers

I remember listening to Jim Collins, co-author with Jerry Porras of Built to Last and author of Good to Great, share how people could use his three overlapping circles of Passion, Genetic Encoding, and Monetarily [or otherwise] Rewarding to find their own best work.

Welcome to the SNW Ning

We have created this online community as an extension of Spirit of the New Workplace courses and workshops. Here you may share insights, coordinate group projects, pose questions, and even create your own interest groups and discussions. This network will continue beyond the course, so you may carry your lessons and new found connections forward. You may also direct colleagues, friends and family members to this online community to explore Spirit of the New Workplace themselves.
