Speaking of dead horses...
The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from
generation to generation, says that when you discover that
you are riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount.
In modern corporate America and government, however, a whole
range of far more advanced strategies are often employed,
such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Threatening the horse with termination.
4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
5. Sending a Congressional delegation to see how other
countries ride dead horses.
6. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be
included.
7. Reclassifying the dead horse as "living impaired."
8. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
9. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase
the speed.
10. Providing additional funding and/or training to
increase the dead horse's performance.
11. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders
would improve the dead horse's performance.
12. Declaring that as the dead horse does not have to be fed,
it is less costly, carries lower overhead, and therefore
contributes substantially more to the bottom line than do
some other horses.
13. Rewriting the minimum performance requirements for all
horses.
14. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
15. Keep reassessing the horse until it rises from the dead.
