An ant works hard without supervision and is very productive. A lion notices this and thinks she could produce even more with oversight. He hires a cockroach supervisor who implements extensive paperwork and meetings. This decreases the ant's productivity. More managers are hired, further reducing productivity until an audit reveals the department is overstaffed. The ant is fired for a poor attitude. The fable warns about over-management stifling productivity.
