Management lessons

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.


A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all day.
A small rabbit saw the crow and asked him: "Can I also
sit like you and do nothing all day long?

The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So the rabbit sat
on the ground below the crow and rested.

All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit
and ate it.

Management lesson: to be sitting and doing nothing,
you must be sitting very, very high up.


=======================================


A turkey was chatting with a bull: "I would love to
be able to get to the top of that tree", sighed the turkey.
"But I haven't got the energy."

"Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?", replied
the bull. "They're packed with nutrients."

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung and found that it actually
gave him enough strength to reach the first branch of the tree.

The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second
branch. Finally, after a fortnight, there he was. Proudly
perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey out of
the tree.

Management lesson: bullsh** might get you to the top, but it
won't keep you there.

=======================================


A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold,
the bird froze and fell to the ground in a large field.

While it was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung
on it. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung,
it began to realize how warm it was. The dung was actually
thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy and soon began
to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile
of cow dung and promptly dug him out and ate him!

Management Lessons:
1 - Not everyone who drops sh** on you is your enemy
2 - Not everyone who gets you out of sh** is your friend
3 - And when you're in deep sh**, keep your mouth shut

Dr. Deming once said, “A manager is only fully responsible for 90% of the problem.” So true!
