LESSON NUMBER ONE
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.
LESSON
NUMBER TWO
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.
Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot
the turkey out of the tree.
Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top,
but it won't keep you there.
LESSON NUMBER THREE
When the body was first
made, all the parts wanted to be Boss.
The brain said, "I should
be Boss because I control the whole body's responses
and functions."
The feet said, " We should
be Boss as we carry the brain about and get him to
where he wants to go."
The hands said, "We should
be the Boss because we do all the work and earn all
the money."
And so it went on and on with
the heart, the lungs and the eyes until finally the
asshole spoke up.
All the parts laughed at the idea of the asshole being
the Boss. So the asshole went on strike, blocked itself
up and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes
became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched,
the heart and lungs began to panic and the brain fevered.
Eventually they all decided
that the asshole should be the Boss, so the motion
was passed.
All the other parts did all
the work while the Boss just sat and passed out the
shit!
Management Lesson: You don't need brains to be a Boss
- any asshole will do.
LESSON NUMBER FOUR
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 WE'VE
NOW LEARNT
1) Not everyone who
drops shit on you is your enemy;
2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend;
3) When you're in deep shit, keep your mouth shut!
