/
The Hedgehog’s Dilemma is a metaphor for the problems we have developing relationships. Look around our professional and personal lives; examples are everywhere. My friend and colleague, Ian Gonsher, uses design thinking to solve the dilemma with applications for humans of all ages. I bet you can think of ways to make it apply to you – at work and elsewhere.
