Your year just started and you’re probably already behind on your “you think we’re good now, but soon we’ll be great” BHAG ( thank you, Jim Collins, for introducing the world to Big Hairy Audacious Goals ). This uber-ordinary guy has inspired millions of people to take steps toward greatness without being totally overwhelmed by BHAGs. You can change your trajectory and likelihood of hitting your BHAG by choosing to make marginal adjustments, not massive ones.

We’ve set up a Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG) and we start working toward it. At one point in my son’s life, school was not his highest priority. There were so many other things that claimed his attention. There was basketball and other activities. There was learning about computers and how to make them do what you wanted. Then, he saw the movie Top Gun. One reviewer said that the star of the movie wasn’t any of the actors. It was the airplanes. Flying those things became the goal.

I’ve written that the “secret of life” is never growing up, and indeed, that child’s sense of wonder is an element of idea generation that just HAS to be there if an organization is going to swing for the fences with big changes, or to go after those “BHAGs” (big, hairy and audacious goals).

Jim Collins coined the acronym BHAG for Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals. T hroughout history, the battle cry has been used to rally troops to come together and defeat a great enemy. The same goes for battle cries in cinema and modern story telling. The leader pulls it together, gives out a shout, and him and his team give the opposing forces a run for their money. Image by Andrew Gould. The battle cry has been a powerful force.

Masterful a cappella groups spend a lot of time defining their vision: the BHAG’s they see themselves achieving in the future. . Driving along the highway with the radio tuned to the Here & Now show, I was just “sort of” listening. But then….Deke Deke Sharon (producer for The Sing Off and both Pitch Perfect movies) came on to be interviewed about the resurgence of interest in a cappella music.
