The document tells a story about Perry the peacock who joins the Land of Penguins. While the penguins initially appreciate Perry's new ideas and creativity, over time they become uncomfortable with how different he is. Perry is loud, colorful, and has many new ideas that disrupt the penguins' preference for uniformity. As the penguins try to force Perry to conform, both parties become unhappy. The story is an allegory for how organizations often appreciate new ideas at first but later try to stifle creativity to maintain the status quo. Diversity can exist if organizations accept differences and appreciate each other rather than forcing conformity.
