Management Lessons- Part 1

CASE 1:
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 youand do nothing all day long?The crow answered: "Sure, why not." so, the rabbit sat on the groundbelow the crow, and rested.
All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate it.
Management Learning:To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

CASE 2:
A turkey was chatting with a bull."I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree," sighed theturkey,"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 himenough 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 fourth night, there he was proudly perched at the top ofthe tree. Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the turkey outof the tree.
Management Learning:Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

CASE 3:
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold, the birdfroze 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 realizehow 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 cowdung, and promptly dug him out and ate him!
Management Learning:
1) Not everyone who drops shit on you is your enemy.
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
