If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to see what is wrong with it. When humans exhibit this same behavior, we put them on the cover of Forbes magazine. — Nathalie Robin Justice


Nathalie Robin Justice said something smart: If a monkey keeps too many bananas while others starve, we'd think it's strange. But when people do it, they get praised.

This quote makes us stop and think. Are we doing the right thing in business?

Too often, we chase after success that looks good on paper, but ignore the bigger problems.

What’s Really Going On?

It's important to ask are we applying band-aids to symptoms, or are we addressing the underlying causes?

True change involves looking at the entire picture and considering how our decisions impact everyone, not just our bottom line.

Your Role as a Manager and Leader

As managers, we have the power to make a significant impact.

This begins with asking difficult questions and daring to take steps that might not be popular. It's about having the courage to act differently for the greater good.

Nathalie Robin Justice's words are more than just a quote, they're a call to action.

As managers and leaders, we have the responsibility to be agents of change.

Let’s not just manage, let's lead with purpose and drive real, meaningful change.
