Have you heard the story of " The Washer man 
and the Foolish Donkey" ?     
 
To refresh your memory, and for the benefit of those
who have not grown up listening to this moral story, it goes like this… 
 
There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. 
One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke 
into the house, the washer man was fast asleep but the 
donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to 
bark since the master did not take good care of him and 
wanted to teach him a lesson. The donkey got worried and 
said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have 
to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind 
and the donkey started braying loudly. Hearing the donkey 
bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started 
beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night 
for no reason. 
 
Moral of the story " One must not engage in duties other
than his own" 
 
Now take a new look at the same  story… 
 
The washer man ( J ) was a well educated man from a 
premier management institute. He had the fundas of 
looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the 
box. He was convinced that there must be some reason 
for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a 
little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up 
approach, figured out from the ground realities that 
there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only 
wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's 
extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, 
he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and 
became his favorite pet. The dog's life didn't change 
much, except that now the donkey was more motivated 
in doing the dogs duties as well. In the annual appraisal 
the dog managed a " meets requirement" . Soon the dog 
realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he 
can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around. The donkey 
was rated as " star performer". The donkey had to live up
to his already high performance standards. Soon he was 
over burdened with work and always under pressure and 
now is looking for a job rotation…
