📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚 📕 #BookWormWednesday 📕 📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚📖📚 Approaching Chapter 7 [Technology Accelerators] of #GoodToGreat, I must admit I didn’t expect to gain much. Surely the tech to be discussed when the book was written wouldn’t still be relevant today… But, these principles are not only still applicable, they may actually be #Timeless. Frankly, Tech has existed in some form or another arguably since the beginning of time. And, the one who leverages it best wins. Here are a few chapter notes: 📑 - Technology can only be great when applied to coherent concepts that reflect the intersection of Passion, Potential, and Profit (HedgeHog Concept Circles) 📑 - “Tech-Induced change is nothing new. The real questions are ‘What is the role of the Tech?’ and ‘How do Great Orgs/People think about and leverage technology differently?’ 📑 - “When used right, tech becomes an accelerator of momentum, not a creator of it.” 📑 - “Tech without a clear hedgehog concept, and without the discipline to stay within the 3 circles, cannot make a company great.” 📑 - “Mediocrity results first and foremost from management failure, not technological failure.” 📑 - “Technology by itself is not a primary cause of greatness nor decline.” 📑 - “Thoughtless reliance on technology is a liability, not an asset.” Talk to me… what hit home for you?
