The Discovery

Name: The Discovery
Duration: 57 s
Description: Credit in organisations is rarely settled by who did the work. It is settled by who is standing beside it when the attention arrives. The people who find things are often too busy to present them, and presenting is a skill, not a crime. But before applauding, a good leader asks one quiet question: whose thinking is this?

The zebra maps a promising new route, then steps away for water. The hyena, who was only resting, steps in.
