The avatar of this group is composed of letters W I S D O M connected together to form an elephant which I called "The Big Picture". It actually came from Asian story of "The Six Blind Men and the Elephant". Some management books refer to this story when discussing about "Tunnel-Visioned" manager wherein that manager is partially correct and totally wrong.

The story goes as, there were six blind men who do not know what an elephant is, and they were intrigued. When the circus came in town, they requested to be brought to the elephant so they could touch and feel it.

One by one they had their chance to touch and feel the elephant, it so happened that each of the blind men had touch and feel only a part of the elephant and nothing more.

The first blind man had touch and feel only the body and went home believing that the elephant is like a wall. The story goes the same with the rest of the blind men.

The second blind man had touch and feel only a leg and he believed that the elephant is like a tree.

The third blind man had touch and feel only an ear and he believed that an elephant is like a fan.

The fourth blind man had touch and feel only the tail and he believed that an elephant is like a rope.

The fifth blind man had touch and feel only the ivory tusk and he believed that an elephant is like a spear.

The sixth blind man had touch and feel only the trunk or the snout and he believed that an elephant is like a snake.

All of them are partially correct but totally wrong, and they did not talk to each other, if they did they could have an idea of  true picture of the elephant. They just go home in their separate ways and tell their fellow blind men about their own findings. Eventually there was economic recession.

This story signify the value of discussions, it is highly recommended that we talk...
