Of sharks and pigs

It is a true but little known fact that more people are killed by pigs each year than by sharks.

I believe this is also true of most businesses. Business owners spend most of their time worrying about the sharks — those diabolical demon competitors — though it is far more likely to be the pigs who kill the company.

The pigs are the employees who would rather lie in the mud and oink than jump through hoops for a customer.

The pigs are the middle managers who are more concerned with getting the most out of the company than getting the most out of their staff.

The pigs are the C-level executives and owners whose only thoughts are for short-term profits.

Is the company or organisation you’re currently with pig-free?
