Cuidado com as empresas que querem ser boas a tudo

"If you spend your life trying to be good at everything, you will never be great at anything. While our society encourages us to be well-rounded, this approach inadvertently breeds mediocrity. Perhaps the greatest misconception of all is that of the well-rounded leader.
.
Organizations are quick to look for leaders who are great communicators, visionary thinkers, and who can also get things done and follow through. All of these attributes are desirable and necessary for an organization to succeed. But of all the leaders we have studied, we have yet to find one who has worldclass strength in all of these areas. Sure, many leaders can get by or are above average in several domains. But paradoxically, those who strive to be competent in all areas become the least effective leaders overall."
...
"Without an awareness of your strengths, it's almost impossible for you to lead effectively. We all lead in very different ways, based on our talents and our limitations. Serious problems occur when we think we need to be exactly like the leaders we admire. Doing so takes us out of our natural element and practically eliminates our chances of success."

Este trecho, retirado de Strengths Leadership Great Leaders, Teams, and Why People Follow" de Tom Rath e Barry Conchie, foi escrito a pensar nas pessoas, nos líderes.

Pois bem, por mim, aplico-o na íntegra, também, às empresas. Cuidado com as empresas que querem ser boas a tudo, que querem ir a todas e servir a todos.

Se calhar, não conseguem ser boas a nada.
