MANAGEMENT STORY - 2




It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his typewriter. Along comes a fox, out for a walk.


Fox: What are you working on ?


Rabbit: My thesis.

Fox: Hmm... What is it about ?

Rabbit: Oh, I'm writing about how Rabbits Eat Foxes.

Fox: That's ridiculous ! Any fool knows that rabbits don't eat foxes!

Rabbit: Come with me and I'll show you!

They both disappear into the rabbit's burrow. After few minutes, gnawing on a fox bone, the rabbit returns to his typewriter and resumes typing.

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the hardworking rabbit.

Wolf: What's that you are writing ?

Rabbit: I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat wolves.

Wolf: you don't expect to get such rubbish published, do you?

Rabbit: No problem. Do you want to see why?

The rabbit and the wolf go into the burrow and again the rabbit returns by himself, after a few minutes, and goes back to typing.

Finally a bear comes along and asks, "What are you doing ?"

Rabbit: I'm doing a thesis on how rabbits eat bears.

Bear: Well that's absurd !

Rabbit: Come into my home and I'll show you


SCENE


As they enter the burrow, the rabbit introduces the bear to the LION.

IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SILLY YOUR THESIS TOPIC IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHOM YOU HAVE AS A SUPERVISOR


Management Lesson


In the context of the WORKING WORLD IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW BAD YOUR PERFORMANCE IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHETHER YOUR BOSS LIKES YOU OR NOT
