Management lessons
Lesson Number One
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
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 realise how warm it was. The dung was actually thawing him out! 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!

Reference lesson 2 "shit gets you to the top but doesn't keep you there", one should note that the golden parachute makes up for it. My ex-boss got 2 promotions taking credit for my work. Then they found out he was actually useless on his own and got rid of him. However, senior people don't get fired, they get 'packages'. With his settlement, plus the stock options which vested immediately, plus his executive lock-in pension, he walked away with the equivalent of what I would earn in a decade. So, being fired at the top isn't that bad!!!
Apologies if that sounds a bit bitter. I'm almost over it. Anyway, now that I have my own blogger to let off steam as well, I don't think I'll need the thearpy sessions.
Actually, i can see your point ...
It's always the same with assholes -they take credit and get away with it. Even when the shit hits the fan, they still come up smelling of roses ... it makes you want to go out and get yourself hurt whilst you smash things to bits ... pffft
