Keith, here's one; it's not EXCLUSIVELY about RM, but can be
appropriated. It's from the Web site of a (non RM) consultant.
Dead Horse Dismount
The tribal wisdom of the Lakota People, passed on from generation to
generation, says that, "When you discover that you are riding a dead
horse, the best 'strategy' is to dismount." However, in government,
education, and in corporate America (CVX?), more advanced strategies are
often employed, such as:
1. Buying a stronger whip.
2. Changing riders.
3. Appointing a committee to study the horse.
4. Arranging to visit other countries to see how other cultures
ride horses.
5. Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
6. Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
7. Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
8. Harnessing several dead horses together to increase speed.
9. Providing additional funding and/or training to increase dead
horse's performance.
10. Doing a productivity study to see if lighter riders would
improve the dead horse's performance.
11. 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 of the economy than do some other
horses.
12. Rewriting the expected performance requirements for all horses.
13. Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.
Best regards.
