The fox and the hedgehog

In strategy, we have the fox and the hedgehog.

The fox knows many things. The hedgehog knows one big thing.

In strategy, the fox is adaptable. Nimble. Reacts to changes in the environment. The hedgehog, in contrast, is focused. Unwavering. Driven by a single, guiding principle.

Both have strengths. Both have flaws.

But in the world of strategy, understanding these two archetypes is crucial. It’s not just about what they know, but how they approach challenges. How they think.

The fox navigates complexity with flexibility. The hedgehog, with determination. Each approach shapes the path to success. Each has its own risks and rewards.
