Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on the top.

Slide 2: 

Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water.

Slide 3: 

After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder.

Slide 4: 

After some time, no monkey dare to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation.

Slide 5: 

Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The 1st thing this new monkey did was to go up the ladder. Immediately the other monkeys beat him up.

Slide 6: 

After several beatings, the new member learned not to climb the ladder even though never knew why.

Slide 7: 

A 2nd monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st monkey participated on the beating for the 2nd monkey. A 3rd monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beating). The 4th was substituted and the beating was repeated and finally the 5th monkey was replaced.

Slide 8: 

What was left was a group of 5 monkeys that even though never received a cold shower, continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.

Slide 9: 

If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder….. I bet you the answer would be…. “I don’t know – that’s how things are done around here” Does it sounds familiar?

Slide 10: 

Don’t miss the opportunity to share this with others as they might be asking themselves why we continue to do what we are doing if there is a different way out there.

Slide 11:
