All Management Lessons Can Be Learned From Nature

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 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 the turkey was 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 wenton 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, and 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 4:

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 Lesson:

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.
