Fortune Cookie Propaganda

This has to be the most puzzling fortune cookie I’ve ever received.

I don’t know… that’s actually rather insightful!

2. sutter says… jan 25, 2007 | 9:40 am

management is carrying out tasks correctly. leadership is essentially leading management to do the correct tasks.

3. Ian says… jan 25, 2007 | 9:43 am

Is that fortune cookie rockin’ it Yin and Yang style?

Perhaps the fortune cookie needs to improve their own management there.…it looks a little burnt. And at least it didn’t say the path to englightenment is through buying more fortune cookies, as one of mine recently said.

and when did fortune cookies stop giving out fortunes? Come on people…give me what I came for:
“A client with no budget constraints awaits just around the bend. Walk faster.”
If I wanted insightful cookies I would expect something along the lines of the Great Confucius:
“Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.”

Oh, does this have anything to do with The Prize is the Cereal?

7. Kirk says… jan 25, 2007 | 6:45 pm

Confucius say. ” Keep Zeldman away from the fortune cookie repository”.

I agree, this isn’t a fortune in a typical sense, but perhaps it is a problem of semantics. That is, perhaps it’s a ‘fortune’ if you can correctly implement both management and leadership. Still perhaps it should have been written, “You will fail if you only manage and not lead.”
