About this episode

<p>The Greek poet Archilochus wrote that &quot;the fox knows many things, but the hedgehog knows one big thing.&quot; This week, we'll use the metaphor of the fox and the hedgehog as a way to understand the differences between tacticians and big-picture thinkers. We'll explore the story of a pioneering surgeon whose hedgehog tendencies led him to great triumphs, and a heartbreaking tragedy. This episode first aired in May 2017.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
