A parrot went to buy other parrots and saw one priced at 200 yuan, which could speak two languages, and another priced at 400 yuan, which could speak four languages. Both were bright-feathered, lively, and adorable. The buyer hesitated, unsure which to choose.
Suddenly, he noticed an old parrot with dull, messy feathers, priced at 800 yuan. He quickly called the shop owner: Does this parrot speak eight languages? The owner replied: No.
The buyer was puzzled: why is this old, unattractive, and less capable parrot worth so much? The owner explained: because the other two parrots call it 'boss'.
This story illustrates that a true leader does not need to be the most capable individually. By trusting, empowering, and valuing the team, one can unite even stronger forces and thereby enhance one’s own worth.
