Penguin Training | Pinguintraining

There once was a time, in the not so distant past, when penguins ruled many lands in the Sea of Organizations. These penguins were not always wise, they were not always popular, but they were always in charge.
Most organizations looked the same: Top executives and managers wore their distinctive penguin suits, while worker birds of many kinds wore colors and outfits that reflected their work and their lifestyles. Birds who aspired to move up in their organizations were encouraged to become as penguin-like as possible – to shorten their steps and learn the penguin stride, to wear penguin suits, and follow the example of their leaders.

Employee Development Departments offered extensive training programs on appropriate penguin-like behavior. The rules and norms were clear from Day One. … Some of the birds who wanted to move up in the pecking order became very good at taking on the penguin look and penguin behavior. But even they found that they never quite made it into key positions ...  BJ Gallagher Hateley, Warren H.Schmidt in "A Peacock in the Land of Penguins. A Fable about Creativity and Courage."

Fortbildungsabteilungen boten ausgedehnte Trainingsprogramme an, in denen man das richtige Pinguinverhalten lernen konnte. Die Regeln und die Normen waren von Beginn an klar. Gerne gaben die Pinguine unaufdringliche (manchmal auch nicht ganz so unaufdringliche) Ratschläge wie: "Wir machen das hier so." "Willst du etwas werden, dann werde wie wir." Einige der Vögel, die in der Hackordnung aufsteigen wollten, wurden sehr gut darin, wie Pinguine auszusehen und sich wie Pinguine zu benehmen.… BJ Gallagher, Warren H.Schmidt, in "Unter Pinguinen.
