2. CAN YOU RECALL!
The Tortoise
And
The Hare

3. The moral of the story was
Slow and steady wins the race.
This is the version of the story that we've all
grown up with.
But the story continues...

4. Why did I
lose the
race? The hare was disappointed at
losing the race and he did
some soul-searching. He
realized that he'd lost the race
only because he had been
overconfident, careless and
lax. If he had not taken things
for granted, there's no way the
tortoise could have beaten
him.

5. So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The
tortoise agreed. This time, the hare went all out
and ran without stopping from start to finish. He
won by several miles.

6. The moral of the story?
Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and
steady.
Thus, in an organisation the fast and reliable player
will consistently climb the organizational ladder faster
than the slow player.
It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be
fast and reliable.
The story doesn't end here …

7. The tortoise now realized that
there was no way that he could
beat the hare in a race, the way
it was currently formatted.So,
he challenged hare to another
race but on a slightly different
route. The hare agreed.
And the race ended pretty well
for the tortoise.

8. The hare and the tortoise, by this
time, had become pretty good
friends and they did some thinking
together.
Both realized that the last race
could have been run in a better
way.

9. They started off, and this
time the hare carried the
tortoise till the riverbank.
There, the tortoise took
over and swam across with
the hare on his back.

10. The moral of the story?
It's good to be individually brilliant but team always give
better results.
It has been observed that when we stop competing
against a rival and instead start competing against the
situation, we automatically perform better.
Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting
the person with the relevant core competency for a
situation take leadership.

11. “A team is a group of
people organised to
work together or
interdependently in
order to meet their
common goal”
Together Everyone Accomplishes More
