Good to Great (5)...Understand what you can be best at

It is so to called Hedgehog Concept whereby the hedgehog knows one thing only as compared with the fox (with lots of plan and cunning). It is a simple and clear understanding about what you can be the best in the world at, what drives your economic engine, and what you are deeply passionate about. All these three elements are needed for a good-to-great company. Miss one, you only attain a successful company.

To ensure the company is aligned within these three elements, a group of council might help to see it's course. They debate, analyze and execute decision for the sake of company progress. The council is an informal body though and they exist as a device to gain understanding about important issues facing the organization.

MyVi

Had got my new MyVi last Friday. Initial consumption was a litre for a 10-km drive. Well, it seems quite costly but this is still early to judge as the engine needs up to 5,000km drive to get optimize (that's what people tell me). Enjoy driving it.
