Two are pushing from behind. Only the person in front can see where the wagon is headed, and how close it is to the goal. The team does not appear to be making much progress, despite their diligence. One glance from our more favorable perspective reveals the problem: the wheels on the wagon are square. This illustration is used by managers, group leaders and professional facilitators to stimulate dialogue about organizations and the way they do things. It is a treasure trove of embedded meaning and metaphor. Discussions about what the cartoon has to say about teams and their goals range from the size of the wagon to the outsized burden placed on the leader to the disadvantaged viewpoint of the workers struggling to push from behind. The "a-ha!" moment arrives when the viewer realizes the wagon is loaded with wheels — round wheels of all sizes. The big picture reality is the wagon team already has the right tools to move the wagon quickly and efficiently. All they need to do is stop, take a breather from their arduous journey, step back a few feet from the wagon, consider which of the wheels in cargo should be used instead to propel the wagon, and — voila! Meaningful progress occurs. http://www.healthworkforce.org/guide/pipeline_sec1_1.htm |
