Success Mantra for Company Secretaries

Mantra for Company Secretaries

Part I


Once upon a time a rabbit and a tortoise had an argument about who was faster. They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race.


The Rabbit shot ahead and ran fast for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep.


The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.


The Rabbit woke up and realized that he'd lost the race.

The moral of the story is that

“Slow and Steady wins the Race”


This is the version of the story that we've all grown up with.

But then recently, someone told me a more interesting version of this story. It

continues………….


Part II


The Rabbit was disappointed at losing the

race and he did some Defect Prevention (Root Cause Analysis). He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and negligent.


If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him. So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.


This time, the rabbit went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.


The moral of the story ？

Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady.


But the story doesn't end here……..


Part III


The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realised that there's no way he can beat the rabbit in a race the way it was currently formatted.


He thought for a while, and then challenged the rabbit to another race, but on a slightly different route.


The rabbit agreed. They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the rabbit took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river.


The finishing line was a couple of kilometers on the other side of the river.


The rabbit sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.


The moral of the story?

First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your

core competency.


The story still hasn't ended.


Part IV


The rabbit and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realised that the last race could have been run much better.


So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time.


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


On the opposite bank, the rabbit again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier.


The moral of the story?

•It's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness

each other's core competencies,• You'll always perform below par because

there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else does well.


Teamwork is mainly about Situational Leadership, letting the person with the

relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.


There are more lessons to be learnt from this story.


Note that neither the rabbit nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The rabbit decided to work harder and put in more effort after his

failure.


The tortoise changed his strategy because he was already working as hard as he could. In life, when faced with failure, sometimes it is appropriate to work harder and put in more

effort.


Sometimes it is appropriate to change strategy and try something different. And

sometimes it is appropriate to do both.


The rabbit and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When we stop

competing against a rival and instead start competing against the situation, we perform

far better.


Story on

“Situational Leadership”


When Roberto Goizueta took over as CEO of

Coca-Cola in the 1980s, he was faced with

intense competition from Pepsi that was eating into Coke's

growth.


His executives were Pepsi-focused and

intent on increasing market share 0.1 per

cent a time.


Goizueta decided to stop competing against

Pepsi and instead compete against the situation of 0.1 per

cent growth.


He asked his executives what was

the average fluid intake of an American per day? The answer was 14 ounces. What was Coke's share of that? Two ounces. Goizueta said Coke

needed a larger share of that market.


The competition wasn't Pepsi. It was the water,

tea, coffee, milk and fruit juices that went into the remaining 12

ounces. The public should reach for a Coke whenever they felt like

drinking something.


To this end, Coke put up vending machines at

every street corner. Sales took a quantum jump and Pepsi has

never quite caught up since.


To sum up, the story of the Rabbit and Tortoise teaches us many things. Important lessons are:

That fast and consistent will always beat slow and steady; work to your competencies;

pooling resources and working as a team will always beat individual performers;

never give up when faced with failure;

and finally, compete against the situation. Not against a rival.


Everyone has a DREAM

And

Everyone wants to ACHIEVE it

How?

To teach you the some of the lessons from the treasure called life

Let me share a story with you on ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS…


The story about the tiny frogs....


There once was a bunch of tiny frogs...

... who arranged a running competition.

The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower.


A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see

the race and cheer on the contestants...

The race began...


Honestly: No one in crowd really believed that the

tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower.

You heard statements such as: "Oh, WAY too difficult!!

They will NEVER make it to the top."

or: "Not a chance that they will succeed.

The tower is too high!"


The tiny frogs began collapsing. One by one...


... Except for those who in a fresh tempo were climbing higher and higher...


The crowd continued to yell "It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!"


More tiny frogs got tired and gave up... ...But ONE continued higher and higher and higher...


This one wouldn't give up!


At the end everyone else had given up climbing the tower.

Except for the one tiny frog who after a big effort was the only one who reached the top!

THEN all of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it?


contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found thestrength to reach the goal?

It turned out...


That the winner was DEAF!!!!


It turned out... That the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story is:

Never listen to other people's tendencies to be

negative or pessimistic...

...cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you....

The ones you have in your heart!


Always think of the power words have.

Because everything you hear and readwill affect your actions!

Therefore: ALWAYS be...

POSITIVE!


And above all:

Be DEAF when people tell YOU that YOU can not fulfil YOUR dreams!

Always think:

I CAN DO THIS!
