why fit?
A proven model founded on principles and values
with practical applications
In my thirty-five years in the consumer packaged goods industry, I’ve had the privilege of applying FIT to well over 100,000 people. I’ve founded, run, sold, and even allowed for the bankruptcy of my own startup, and met with more successes as well as failures than most people have. Along that lengthy path, two primary questions surfaced unanswered: First, why do some people, organizations, married couples, and societies find fulfillment—while others do not? And second, why are some of these individuals and groups able to sustain a higher level of success for a longer period of time than others? People and organizations have different ways of measuring success, but a common definition lies in finding a sense of meaning and purpose at work.
At the intersection of organizational success and individual success is a concept I call FIT. Essentially, that’s an acronym for Fully Integrated Teams. FIT is a wide-ranging concept built around a tight cluster of principles and core values with practical application on a number of fronts. So at certain points here—especially as it concerns your own progress and direction in life and career—you can even expand the meaning of FIT to represent something like “Fully Integrated Trajectory.”
