The HEDGEHOG has one interesting quality about it. In fact one famous business author Jim Collins uses it as the centerpiece of his best selling book Good to Great.

The lesson we all can learn from the HEDGEHOG comes from a Greek poem written by Archilochus.

The poem tells a story about a conning and brilliant fox. This fox understands almost everything in the territory around him. He decides he has never eaten a HEDGEHOG and plots a perfect attack plan that makes him worthy of the descriptor “clever like a fox”.
