A Fable About Teamwork

I’m the fastestrunner.

That’s not true.The fastest runner isme!

Ok, let’s havea race.

Fine!

Poor guy! Even if I take a nap, he could not catch up with me.

Champion!

Long time hare fans experience defeat for the first time ever!

• The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race.

Deleted scene – Stewing Mad!

That might be an ending some would like;

Why did I lose the race?

I’d like to have another chance. I’m requesting a re-match.

What will another race prove? everyone knows slow and steady wins the race but Ok!

Lessons learned

Hare Fans Rejoice!

The moral of the story?

• Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. • It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be fast and

reliable.

Deleted Scene – Soups on!

Deleted Scene – Go Fish!

That might be an ending some would like;

Sorry this was supposed to be a visual of the tortoise thinking…..

I ‘m positioning myself for a

real come back

I beat you by several miles tortoise. I can’t see what good it will do but I’m game. No pun intended!

It’s my turn to ask for a re-match hare, I want another chance!

This way to finish line!

See you at the victory party sucker!

• The moral of the story?

• First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency. Create opportunities to get yourself noticed..

• Work to your strengths..If your strength is analysis, make sure you do

some sort of research, make a report and send it upstairs.

Long time hare fans experience defeat for the second time!

Deleted Scene – Wrong Turn Ending

And that might be an ending some would like;

Teamwork!

What do you say we run the last race again?

Only if we agree to do it as a Team!

Some pics are harder to find than others……

*note* please use your own imagination to omit the magician and replace with a tortoise. By this time you’ve seen enough pics of tortoise’s right?

Some pics are just more entertaining than others…… *note* please imagine the funny looking man in a tortoise costume to be an actual tortoise and the same for the funny looking woman to be an actual hare both crossing a river.

Deleted Scene – replaced with human actors on the previous slide

The moral of the story…• It's good to be individually brilliant and to have

strong core competencies; but… • Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership

There are more lessons • Don’t give up after failures!

• Work Harder, if you can. If not be willing to change your strategy. Or, if necessary, do both…

• Failure is an event not a person – compete against the situation not a rival.

The End

Let’s go and build stronger teams!
