COVER STORY
with Sarah Keates
If an animal can talk and
as smart as a human,
which would you pick to
work in your company
and why?
“Excellent and interesting question.
Cockroaches and elephants have
excellent memories so they would
be useful team members. At WOI,
we need to remember a lot of
names, facts, industry specific data,
acronyms, and so memory and the
ability to retain data is highly
valued. I would also employ
honeybees for their efficiency and
teamwork, spotted hyenas for
problem solving skills; and perhaps
a few wolves for when we need to
work as a pack.
I would avoid peacocks at all costs.
Whilst I respect and admire the
beauty and the usefulness of the
ego (to some extent), I’d prefer
creatures that can cooperate,
collaborate, and communicate in
real, healthy ways.
