Step 1 Take a cage filled with five monkeys. In the center of the cage place a banana on a string. When one of the monkey's trys to get the banana hose down all of the other monkeys. Repeat this step a few times until the monkeys all realize that when one goes for the banana all the others will get soaked. They will eventually try and stop the one monkey from reaching for the banana.
Step 2 Now put away the water hose and replace one of the original monkeys that got soaked with a new monkey. This new monkey will try to go for the banana in the center of the cage, but will be thwarted by his peers. He will soon learn that if he goes for the banana, he will receive a beating from the other monkeys in the cage.
Step 3 Replace another of the original monkeys that got the hose with a new one. Like before this new monkey will see the banana in the center of the cage and try to go for it?only to be pummeled by the other original monkeys and the monkey from STEP 2. (The monkey from step 2 has not been soaked with water, but takes part in the beating with enthusiasm)
Step 4 Keep on replacing the original monkeys out with new monkeys as done in step 2 and 3 until there are no more of the original monkeys left in the cage. Each time you replace a monkey, the monkey from the previous step will partake in the beating of the new monkey.
What you are left with is a cage full of five monkeys who have not been soaked with water and the banana still hanging. No one monkey attempts to reach for the banana because they all know at this point that if they do, they will receive a beating from all the other monkeys.
Why Do They continue to partake in stopping any monkey that goes for the banana even though none of these monkeys have been hosed down for going for the banana?
Because as far as they know that?s the way things have always been done around here so why should they do things any different,,,
And that is where COMPANY POLICY begins
