Okay, enough of that four-letter word, let's upgrade it
to seven instead.
Here's a bird that should elicit some pure thoughts.
A white peacock.
And an analogy about birds and the corporate world.
However, as time went by,
The penguins began to murmur against Perry.
He was too loud, too colourful
and had too many new ideas
that intruded the penguins' comfort zone.
We see this story unfolds
in many organisations today.
Creativity and innovation are seen to be
"a breath of fresh air" in many organisations.
Many "Perrys" are recruited for their creativity.
Yet, along the way, their creativity is stifled by
the need to conform to the norm.
The End
What a good metaphor by using Birds to describe any organization in this Society.
ReplyDeleteIn the real world, I would say Eagle would be the top leader in an organization to lead those colorful birds whether they have fresh creativity or not, they have to defer to the Eagle. ‘Bosses are always right”.
I like that white peacock! I've never seen peacock to display it's fine tail feathers.
Which just goes to show that corporate life is for the birds.

ReplyDeleteI never knew there are white peacocks actually.
Pandabonium, LOL!
YD, wow! what an array. No, I must say I've not had the chance at these but they do look like fun. Which is your favourite? Thanks for pointing them out.
In a nutshell, the moral of this story is:
ReplyDeleteThe nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
(Wait a minute, that's an old Japanese proverb!)
It's teamwork that counts...the company's top men are not necessarily the brightest, but they must have that stately charisma..like the penguins..hehe
ReplyDeleteso bird of a kind flocks together?:P
