Management Story No. 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.


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 PERFORMANCE IS; WHAT MATTERS IS WHETHER YOUR BOSS LIKES YOU OR NOT
