See the whole picture before you arrive into any conclusions.
In one ancient village of rural India, there were six blind men who had never heard of an animal called the elephant. One day the Emperor of the village announces that a rare magnificent animal called the elephant had been brought to the village town hall. Eager and excited to know how the elephant looks like the six blind men rushed their way into the village town hall. The first blind guy goes up to the trunk of the elephant touches it, feels it, and claims that the elephant has a leathery skin that is smooth and curled up the elephant looks like a snake.
The second blind guy who had been standing near the tusk of the elephant touches it and claims that the elephant is smooth, conical, and pointed at the end so that elephant looks like a sphere. The third blind guy who had been standing near the ear of the elephant flips it and tells you both are wrong the elephant looks like a fan. The fourth blind guy had been standing near the body of the elephant touches it, and claim that the elephant is smooth magnificent, and humongous big claiming it to look like a wall.
The fifth blind guy had been standing near the leg of the elephant, said and you all are wrong. The elephant is tall, sturdy, and cylindrical like the trunk of a tree. The last blind guy who had been standing near the tale of the elephant said and clients and excitement saying you blind Idiots you’re all wrong. The elephant looks like a rope, the six blind men then begin fighting with each other. Each claiming that his own version of the elephant was how actually the elephant looks like and dismiss the other person’s idea of the elephant claiming it to be wrong.
A passer-by who saw the six blind men fighting stop, and intervein them, and ask them what they were quarreling about. The six blind men explain to the passer-by his own version of how the elephant looks like and claim the other person’s idea of the elephant was not actually how the elephant looks like. The passer-by stops them and took a step back and looked at the elephant he then told the six blind men that you all are correct, but you all equally wrong too. Confuse they are the six blind men ask the passer-by what he meant.
The passer-by then explains to the six blind men that the elephant has a trunk that resembled a tree, a tusk that resembled a sphere, a huge ear that looks like a fan, a huge body that looks like a wall, legs that look like the tree, and a tail that look like a snake. All these put together with the elephant so each blind man’s perspective was correct, but not the entire picture of how the elephant looks like. Similarly, in our lives, the six blind men could be people we know each of them for seeing their own ideologies and principles to look at a situation but as an individual, it is important to step back like the passer-by and take the whole picture before jumping into any conclusions. It is not wrong to listen to. The other person’s perspective but it is not entirely correct to see things the way they see take a step back and look at the whole picture before you jump to any conclusions. The six blind men could also be one single person you. At one point in time, you miss you only the trunk of the elephant and assumed to be a snake at one point you miss you only the tusk of the elephant and assumed to be a sphere, it is also equally important to give yourself some time to see the whole picture before you arrive into any conclusions. We hope you like the story if you think the same story could be used as another management lesson please put them in the comments section.
