Dogs & Crows : A Lesson For Your Business

Dogs and Crows

You would see many street dogs roaming around in the tea shops early morning in the hope of being fed buns and biscuits. Take some buns, make into pieces and feed them. Observe the pattern, you will learn some interesting aspects of animal psychology.

You will see that, there would be an absolute competition among the dogs. Irrespective of the direction you throw the biscuits or the bun pieces, one or two strong dogs will be fast to grab it all. After some time you would be empathetic about the weak ones and you would use tricks like throwing a piece far away to send the stronger ones away and then feeding the weaker ones.

Crows are a little different. You go near a tree with lots of crows and offer bun pieces. You will see that each bird will take just one piece and leave. Others will sit in a queue. If you put some bread pieces in a bowl of hot water and milk, you will see only the aged birds will take them. Even if the other weaker birds like sparrows come there, the crows will not drive them away. Their discipline and care for others will surprise you.

A business needs to be a dog as a unit and a crow within. It must compete in the market for the entire pie and have a good pie distribution within.

Business fails when the behavior is reversed.??
