 THE CROW , RABBIT AND FOX

##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.

If you are on top, acting like a crow, there is a danger every rabbit (working and non-working) would be perished!  If you are a rabbit, individual would lose his position; if you are a crow on top, the organisation as a whole would be at peril, because there are vultures (corporate adversaries) who are waiting outside to prowl on you!
