The Ant doesn’t need the Lion, or the cockroach or anyone else for that matter. Just some feedback from fellow ants on what’s working

This one is the best context ever read about the truth going on these days in corporate offices. Yes of course most hard working honest employees are always the sufferers and those who work less and boast more get benefited. And the mobile shop keepers selling such ideas as were followed in lion’s office earn much much more than any one. Maintaining urgent records is different. But making least required reports for the sake of cunning ideas only mars the efficiency of intelligent hard working employees.

Very impactful story.
Absolutely right.
Lions need to recognise the efforts of the ants performers and encourage them.
Superb corporate lesson

This story is much like what usually happens in the corporate sector. The office heads do not realize that it is actually the “ants” who actually run their business. The employees who are considered ants in offices are the ones who work the hardest. And the officials above them in hierarchy mostly don’t realize that. And when it comes to downsizing, these “ants” are ones who suffer the most.

It is unfortunate that the producer gets kick out and the swivel chair managers remained, end result :zero production

lions really need to get to know their star ant(s) and consider the ramifications of such changes, even if they are consistent with “accepted practices”, which is a lazier approach to process

Outstanding way to put this tendency into perspective!

Plus, Yaniv is right on the mark: lions really need to get to know their star ant(s) and consider the ramifications of such changes, even if they are consistent with “accepted practices”, which is a lazier approach to process improvement than actually thinking through individual situations.

Dave and all, thank for the valuable lessons in the life of business. What a wonderful world it would be if we were always open to be teachable and in remembrance of our important life experiences. Awareness, acceptance, action and allowance with a good attitude.
