‘Crow or cuckoo’ is more in numbers in any given habitat? This should be the fundamental inquiry the corporate leaders should engage at.
Crow is considered to be one of the most intelligent birds in the avifauna. Crow has learned the art of living in jungle, dessert areas and densely populated by human being. Its co-existence with human being without totally and completely trusting the man is an outstanding example of how intelligent the crow’s are.
But such an intelligent bird does get fooled by a cuckoo. Cuckoos out smart the crow by removing its eggs and lays its eggs in crow nest. It makes the crow to incubate its eggs and feed the baby cuckoo until they could fly. The crow cannot distinguish its eggs from the eggs of cuckoo hence treat them as its own.
Although the crow is intelligent, it does get fooled by a cuckoo. Perhaps, crows doubt only humans and not cuckoos therefore get cheated by cuckoos. The management message is that one has to intelligent and smart, multi-directionally otherwise despite being intelligent, one may get fooled easily.
The corporate must also study the cuckoo behaviour in detail. Cuckoos are smart in cheating one of the intelligent birds – the crows. But look at the population density of crows and cuckoos. Some study findings have shown that that the ratio of crow versus cuckoo is 25:1 or even more. What this statistics convey? However smart the cuckoo may be in cheating the crow, but it cannot outnumber the crows.
If you compare the crows to talented and intelligent people and cuckoos with cunning folks, be happy that crows only will be more in your corporate than cuckoos. Cuckoos need crows and not vice versa. Be happy that you have more talented people than cheats.
Do not think much or worry much about cuckoos but think how you can motivate and make the crows in your corporate to perform.
It is impossible to eliminate cheats and getting cheated in any ecosystem. The beauty of nature is that the nature has never allowed the cheaters to overpopulate and become rulers of the law. Cheaters could exist only when cheated exist. The former is always ‘dependent’ and ‘not independent’. They cannot be also.
Cuckoo need crow to rear its chicks and cuckoo need crows even to rear the chicks of its chicks in future. Therefore it never eliminates all eggs of the crow or it cannot outnumber crows in any given habitat due to law of cybernetics. But crow is free and non liable.
This finest management message of nature, the HR and the corporate leaders should learn.
