Nice one.....

Management : *8 Monkeys* ... ..*really** very interesting*
(This is based on an actual experiment conducted in U.K.)

Put eight monkeys in a room. In the middle of the room is a ladder, leading
to a bunch of bananas hanging from a hook on the ceiling.

Each time a monkey tries to climb the ladder, all the monkeys are sprayed
with ice water, which makes them miserable.

Soon enough, whenever a monkey attempts to climb the ladder, all of the
other monkeys, not wanting to be sprayed, set upon him and beat him up.

Soon, none of the eight monkeys ever attempts to
climb the ladder.

One of the original monkeys is then removed, and a new monkey is put in
the
room. Seeing the bananas and the ladder, he wonders why none of the other
monkeys are doing the obvious. But undaunted, he immediately begins to
climb
the ladder.
All the other monkeys fall upon him and beat him silly. He has no idea why.

However, he no longer attempts to climb the ladder.
A second original monkey is removed and replaced.
The newcomer again attempts to climb the ladder, but all the other
monkeys hammer the crap out of him. This includes the previous new monkey,
who,
grateful that he's not on the receiving end this time, participates in the
beating because all the other monkeys are doing it. However, he has no idea
why he's attacking the
new monkey.
One by one, all the original monkeys are replaced.

Eight new monkeys are now in the room. None of them have ever been sprayed
by ice water. None of them attempt to climb the ladder. All of them will
enthusiastically beat up any new monkey who tries, without having any idea
why.
This is how any company's policies get Established
