The corporate leaders have a lot to learn from the cheetah and its hunting strategy as it.....
The successful survival of Cheetah in African jungle comes not just from its ability to run at great speed but certainly from its intelligence and endurance to an extraordinary struggle/hardship. Cheetah is the fastest cat. But compared to the jaw power of a lion or hyena or leopard, the jaw power of cheetah is poor or not that strong. More often than not, the smart cheetah hunts the prey, the smarter lion or leopard or hyena snatches the hunt away from cheetah, leaving them to work all again.
This competition for survival was there for cheetah perhaps ever since it was evolved and is continuing even today. The wise cheetah has wisely applied its intelligence and redesigned its hunting time and strategy and that is how it has become successful. That is how the cheetah has become a diurnal hunter, carefully selected to hunt especially during the hot mid day while his competitors like lion, hyena and leopard would resort to deep slumber when the day is hot and sunny.
Most of the other big cats and hyena are nocturnal animals and they find it hard to work in hot mid day.
Chasing the prey and running at great speed during hot mid day will give an extraordinary pressure to any animal. During run (chasing prey), the body temperature of cheetah is reported to rise to 105 degree centigrade. Hence this cat has to rest between. Cheetah does the above fete only to ensure its success.
Sacrifice and endurance are inevitable for survival. Strength will support only if wisdom is applied wisely and wise strategies are worked out to ‘receive and support’ the ‘strength’.
Despite having the unique strength, i.e. ability to run at great speed and ability to catch even the fastest deer –impala, cheetah has to work differently by choosing the less chosen time, i.e., the hot mid day to hunt the prey. The hot mid day has only minimized its competition and competitors snatching its prey but not its struggle. Its struggle continues. But despite the continuous struggle, it could become successful survivor in the African jungle.
The message to be learned by the corporate leaders is that, for success, one has to plan, work and think differently. One should never assume that struggle free path is ‘the’ path to success. One has to learn to live with struggle & overcome it and not struggles because of struggle.
Endurance is essential for success. Cheetah has willingly accepted the hardship of hot sunny mid day. As difficult the hot sunny day to cheetah, so is the day to its prey animals also. Cheetah saw an opportunity there. Cheetah wisely learned the art of avoiding competition. Cheetah wants to achieve success (survival). Cheetah was ready to endure and work hard.
The management message is very clear. Success demands endurance, willingness to travel an extra mile, the intelligence to know the strength and how to use the same wisely. Every corporate person must learn the success and struggle of cheetah in order to be successful in corporate life.
