Management Story-2

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.

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.
