Let's eat 6% of the tribe

Fine Bone convinced the tribe that it gets more food than other tribes around. A year later...

- Chief, everyone believes that we give our tribe members more food than any other tribe around. But according to our shaman, so do the Investor-gods. So they demand now that we cut the food we give to the members of the tribe to reduce expenses.

- Let's eat 6% of the tribe, - said the Chief, Bare Bone, - That will reduce the amount of food we spend on the tribe.

And the tribe had a happy feast. Everyone got especially cheerful, when Bare Bone paid with his Tribal Corporate Credit Card for wine and spices to complement the fresh meat.

In the eyes of beholder

Fine Bone asked the chief of the tribe Bare Bone:

- Chief, members of the tribe defect to other tribes. They say they need more food. What's worse, they are food. And they leave the tribe! What are we going to eat?!

- Convince them that we give more food than any other tribe around.

- But we don't give them much food!

- I did not say "give them", I said "convince them that they get a lot of food." Make them believe that other tribes give less food, that's it!

- Got it! Will do! You are so wise, Chief!

I'll decide later...

 Thick Bone said to Smart Bone:

- Here are your objectives and key results for the next quarter!

- Could you explain what do they mean and how will you measure their completion? - asked Smart Bone.

- I dunno, - answered Thick Bone, - I'll decide it when the time will come to tell that you've failed and don't deserve food anymore.
