THE TEN-SECOND FUNNY: MORE DEAD HORSES
Well, someone's come up with a variant on that supposed old 'Dakota
tribal wisdom' email about what to do when you find you are riding a
dead horse. Here it is:
"The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed down from generation to
generation, says that when you discover that you are riding a dead
horse, the best strategy is to dismount. In many organizations, however,
a whole range of far more advanced strategies are often employed, such
as:
1. Change riders
2. Buy a stronger whip
3. Do nothing: "This is the way we have always ridden dead horses" 4.
Visit other companies or countries to see how they ride dead horses 5.
Perform a productivity study to see if lighter riders improve the dead
horse's performance 6. Outsource: Hire a contractor to ride the dead
horse
7. Harness several dead horses together in an attempt to increase the
speed 8. Provide additional funding and/or training to increase the dead
horse's performance 9. Appoint a committee to study the horse and assess
how dead it actually is 10. Re-classify the dead horse as
"living-impaired" 11. Develop a Strategic Plan for the management of
dead horses
12. Rewrite the expected performance requirements for all horses 13.
Modify existing standards to include dead horses 14. Declare that, as
the dead horse does not have to be fed, it is less costly, carries lower
overheads, and therefore contributes substantially more to the bottom
line than many other horses 15. Promote the dead horse to a supervisory
position."
