2、ace. They agreed on a route and started off the race. 3第3页,共31页。The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought hed sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. Poor guy! Even if I take a nap, he could not catch
3、 up with me.4第4页,共31页。He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. 5第5页,共31页。The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ. 6第6页,共31页。The hare woke up and realized that hed lost the race.7第7页,共31页。The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins
4、 the race. This is the version of the story that weve all grown up with. 8第8页,共31页。The story continues 9第9页,共31页。The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching.

The tortoise agreed. 11第11页,共31页。This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He
6、won by several miles. 12第12页,共31页。The moral of the story? Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and steady. If you have two people in your organization, one slow, methodical and reliable, and the other fast and still reliable at what he does, the fast and reliable chap will consistently clim
7、b the organizational ladder faster than the slow, methodical chap. Its good to be slow and steady; but its better to be fast and reliable. 13第13页,共31页。But the story doesnt end here 14第14页,共31页。The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that theres no way he can beat the hare in a race th
8、e way it was currently formatted. How can I can win the hare?15第15页,共31页。He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. The hare agreed. Sure!Can we have another race? This time well go through a different route.16第16页,共31页。They started off.
9、In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare 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. Goal17第17页,共31页。The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise
10、 trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race. What should I do?18第18页,共31页。The moral of the story? First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency. In an organization, if you are a good spea
11、ker, make sure you create opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior management to notice you. If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of research, make a report and send it upstairs. Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will also create oppor
12、tunities for growth and advancement. 19第19页,共31页。The story still hasnt ended 20第20页,共31页。The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realized that the last race could have been run much better. 21第21页,共31页。So they decided to do th
13、e last race again, but to run as a team this time. Hi, buddy. Howabout doing our lastrace again?Great! I think we could do it much better, if we two help each other.Hi, buddy.

14、nk. 23第23页,共31页。There, the tortoise took over and swam across with the hare on his back. 24第24页,共31页。On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than theyd felt earlier. 25第25页,共31页。The moral o
15、f the story? Its good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless youre able to work in a team and harness each others core competencies, youll always perform below par because there will always be situations at which youll do poorly and someone else does well. Team
16、work is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership. 26第26页,共31页。There are more lessons to be learnt from this story. Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures. The hare decided to work harder and
17、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.
18、 And sometimes it is appropriate to do both. The hare 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. 27第27页,共31页。When Roberto Goizueta took over as CEO of Coca-Cola in the 1980s, he w
