3 Minute Management Course
Lesson One
An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, "Can I also sit like you and
do nothing?" The eagle answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit sat on
the ground below the eagle 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 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 it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree.
The next
day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch.
Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the
top of the tree. He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him
out of the tree.
Management Lesson
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.
Lesson Three
A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the
bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying
there, a cow came by and
dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow
dung, he began to
realize how warm he 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 shits on you is your enemy.
(2) Not everyone who gets you out of * is your friend.
(3) And when you're in deep *, it's best to keep your mouth shut!
