My favorite corporate version of Aesop’s fable is actually this version –https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXTeFa43730. However I am equally struck by the parallel between the hare and the tortoise and how our strategic goals move and the pace at which we move.
Hit the road in the morning, into office well in time, and set for really making a major impact – and then the world starts to spin around. Review calls, meeting with a key stakeholder, lunch with a major customer, process hygiene activities to finish off, and in between your CFO wants a quick discussion on some new regulatory requirements, the marketing team needs a quick input on the new campaign, HR wants your nod on what they would respond to the global HQ on policy, and the day goes by. Throw in a flight to another city for some key engagements the next day, and the morning high of doing that impactful transformation is down the tube.
In the Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy Douglas Adams says ‘I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.’ But do you. I certainly never did, much as I enjoyed reading the book.
I am sure for most of you the day is like the hare and that “impactful transformation” is the tortoise.Need I explain more
