Interesting Management Stories

Story # 1



It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a #-Link-Snipped-# is sitting outside his cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.



Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"



Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and your big claws will only destroy it even more."
Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"



Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great claws cannot fix complicated #-Link-Snipped-#"
Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"



The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.



Soon a #-Link-Snipped-#comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.



Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your #-Link-Snipped-# for you"


Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV.
Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"



The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.



Scene :
Inside the lion's cave. In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.


Moral :

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A MANAGER IS FAMOUS; LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.



Management Lesson in the context of the working world :

Story # 2


It's a fine sunny day in the forest and a rabbit is sitting outside his burrow, tippy-tapping on his #-Link-Snipped-#. 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 #-Link-Snipped-# 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.




Moral:

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 #-Link-Snipped-#IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHETHER YOUR BOSS LIKES YOU OR NOT
