Management Lessons for the beginners

A crow was sitting on a tree, doing nothing all
day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him, "Can
I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?"

The crow answered: "Sure, why not." So, the rabbit
sat on the ground below the crow, 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 Number 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 that it
actually gave him enough strength to reach the first
branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some
more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally,
after a fortnight, there he was proudly perched at the
top of the Tree.

Soon he was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot the
turkey out of the tree.

Management Lesson: Bullshit might get you to the top,
but it won't keep you there.


Lesson Number Three *******************
When the body was first made, all the parts wanted to
be Boss.

The brain said, "I should be Boss because I control
the whole body's responses and functions." The feet
said, "We should be Boss as we carry the brain about
and get him to where he wants to go."

The hands said, "We should be the Boss because we do
all the work and earn all the money." And so it went,
on and on, with the heart, the lungs and the eyes,
until finally the asshole spoke up. All the parts
laughed at the idea of the asshole being the Boss.

So, the asshole went on strike, blocked itself up
and refused to work. Within a short time the eyes
became crossed, the hands clenched, the feet twitched,
the heart and lungs began to panic and
the brain fevered.

Eventually they all decided that the asshole should
be the Boss so the motion was passed. All the other
parts did all the work while the Boss just sat and
passed out the shit!

Management Lesson - You don't need brains to be a
Boss. Any asshole will do.



Lesson Number Four ******************

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It
was so cold, the bird froze and fell to the ground in
a large field.While it was lying there, a cow came by
and dropped some dung on it. As the frozen bird lay
there in the pile of cow dung, it began to realize how
warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him

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 drops shit on
you is your enemy.

2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your
friend. 3) And when you're in deep shit, keep your
mouth shut!
