re133: Accountability: The Chicken is Involved, but the Pig is Committed
Published 5 years, 4 months ago
Description
How involved are your collaborators or partners or friends or colleagues?
A Pig and a Chicken are walking down the road.
— Wikipedia
The Chicken says: “Hey Pig, I was thinking we should open a restaurant!”
Pig replies: “Hm, maybe, what would we call it?”
The Chicken responds: “How about ‘ham-n-eggs’?”
The Pig thinks for a moment and says: “No thanks. I’d be committed, but you’d only be involved.”
Sure, the pig in this fable is extremely committed in the short term. The chicken, although only “involved” will at least be around for the long term.
So, who’s on your team?
