| Short Story -18 - The impact of “I” and the power of “WE” |
The impact of “I”
Once there was a frog in a little pond. Slowly the water in the pond started drying due to the hot weather.
One day, two geese came near the pond and the frog asked the two geese to take him to the nearby pond where there is more water.
One of the geese told, “We know a pond where there is plenty of water. But, how we can take you there?”.
Frog told them, “Don’t worry, I have an Idea. You both hold a stick in your beaks and I will hold it with my mouth. Then you both can fly to that Pond”.
Both the goose thought it should work and off they went.
When they were flying, it was quite a sight for other animals on the ground. They looked up to and admired for their creative teamwork.
Some animal shouted, “It was a great idea and which one of you is so clever to bring the idea of travel”.
Hearing this, the two geese kept silent and thought in their mind it was a team effort and focused on flying. But the frog opened his mouth and said, “It was I, who gave this idea” and he fell to the ground and died.
Moral of the story:
In teamwork, there is never an “I”. Even if your contribution is the prime factor for the team’s success, you should never tell openly to the team. Every contribution from the team is important, whether it is big or small.
"To achieve any success in the team, it’s always a collective effort"
'If there is a crisis, take the blame and resolve it. If there is success give credit to the team and appreciate"
“THAT IS THE QUALITY OF A TRUE LEADER”
