Hiring ?? Hire a SHARK !!

This is the craziest suggestion you must have ever read. Every TEAM needs a SHARK to keep all its employees on their toes.

Rewriting one of my favorite stories heard some time back.

Fish for Japanese..

Waters close to Japan does not inhabit Fish. Boats went farther and farther away to get fish. The fish that was brought back took days and the Fish was not FRESH.The taste was not acceptable. Moreover, most of it went waste.

So, freezers were installed on boats. However, the taste of frozen fish was not appealing.And frozen fish fetched lower price.

Now what next !!

Tanks were installed in boats. Fish were now stuffed in tanks and kept alive. Fish had no place to move in the overstuffed tanks. Slowly they got sluggish , dull and tired, though still alive.

The sale was better but still did not pick up. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So, what would YOU recommend the fishing companies ??

 Well, this is what they did - They put a small SHARK in the tank of fish. Yea.. Yea.. the Shark did eat a few of them but ALL other fish reached the port energetic and lively !!

What kept the fish full of life even though facing extreme danger ?
CHALLENGE indeed !


Such is HUMAN behavior also. Challenges keep them energized,motivated, better performers. When there is a Shark in the team, everyone tries to cross their threshold limit to compete with the Shark. Challenges are enjoyed by competent and persistent employees. The more the challenge given to them, the more alive they are.

 Hire a shark for your tank and see how many you can spot, having the potential to reach their goals.
