Winnie the pooh

Today , being Saturday and I have no MBA Classes; joined with my little one to watch "Winne the pooh" movie. Wonderful movie with excellent message for kids.

This movie starts with Christopher Robin and animal kingdom includes Winnie (DIE HARD HONEY LOVER).  A reward was declared who can find missing tail for piglet. Multiple attempts were made by Pooh with others to get pot of honey and no success so far. One day pooh in search of honey went to Christopher home and found note lying outside.

Poor winnie has trouble reading long sentences . As a honest team member went to his leader to understand this note. Eagle (leader) who mis understood note and said there is a  animal by name "Back Soon" and has captured christopher. All team members including tiger laid trap in jungle to capture "Back Soon" and release chirstopher. Unfortunatley all animals got traped itself in a deep hole along with Pooh who was first to fall in search of honey. Finally, pooh used letters to jump out of hole and gave lead to others, all were out and meet Christopher. Winnie, went to Christopher and said how is he released. Christopher said "he was never captured, went to school".  Message was mis understood (by eagle).

Again, Pooh went to Eagle home in search of honey and found tail looking element. Eagle try to bribe him with pot of honey. Pooh refuses and went to christopher with tail like element and have it fixed on piglet. As a reward, get big pot of honey.

Take Aways:

1. Leader should be Subject Matter Expert.
2. Team is always ready to work hard and gives 100% for their leader.
3. Success of team depends on leader's vision and capability.
4. Hard work pays you (may be sometime little late)
5. As a Team member ensure, leader is expert (and not pretend to be expert)
