Top Management

A crow and rabbit were friends. The rabbit used to work very hard during the day in searching for food and for his survival. Opposite to that the crow sat on the top of the tree. The crow was very shrewd and cunning. It used to sit on the tree and sometimes go for hunting and quickly comeback. It was idle most of the time. So the rabbit asked the crow what you do. The crow said nothing; I just keep sitting on the tree and go sometime to hunt for my food. Well most of the time I just roam around. So the rabbit decided to do the same. He just kept sitting, and was eventually eaten by a wolf. Moral of the story is that inorder to be sitting and doing nothing, you should be sitting very high.

The same is true for the top management. Their job is not very well defined and consequently they are also not involved into day to day operational activities. They need to give vision to the organization. The basically deal with carving out long term strategies and being very high up in the hierarchy are instrumental in the success of the organization.
