Is your organization slowly going the way of the Panda?
Last week while on vacation I visited the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. On the plaque next to the panda exhibit read something like this, “Pandas must spend over 50% of their time eating bamboo because they have difficulty digesting it and it has very little nutritional value.”
The panda spends so much time trying to survive on what he’s used to that he doesn’t have time to try something new.
What if the panda stopped eating bamboo and started eating energy bars? What would he do with all his spare time? What could he accomplish with a larger family and a larger network of pandas? Would he still need to spend the other 50% of his time sleeping? Would he still be restricted to living in the jungle or could he get the beach front home he’s always dreamed about?
What are you doing in your business that eats up a lot of your time and produces little results? Make the change now or tell your friends and co-workers they can find your exhibit next to the panda.
