Fish Story Part 2
The 16 fishes have the tendency of being shy. Sudden movement, or sound would immediately set off a furry of activities, sending them into hiding. They would hide behind the artificial reefs made up of small pieces of woods and pebbles and 16 pairs of fishy eyes would stare out at you. It never fail to crack me up!
Gradually, over a period of 2 months, something amazing starting to happen. Once a day, around 7pm, similar movement would only attract them to you, rather than send them into hiding.
Because it is the feeding time.
Natural instinct has led them to learn that at this particular time, food is coming. Their behaviour changed to suite that.
If fishes can learn, and change their behaviour in accordance with the acquired knowledge in order to do what is needed to improve their livelihoods, what more to say about us human?
Companies that do not have designed human capital improvement strategy is robbed off opportunity to become high performing companies. They are effectively failed to realise their potentials.
Continuous learning helps to inspire, improve and transform.
