Guiding Enterprise Change
This is the story of four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it.
Consequently, it wound up that Nobody told Anybody, so Everybody blamed Somebody.

how could Nobody realize that Everybody wouldn’t do it. when nobody already did it ??
and shame on Everybody by the way to blame Somebody who was defending Everybody’s intrest against Nobody :)))
if everybody did the job anybody could have done, nobody would not have told anybody, so that somebody would not have been blamed !
if everybody did the job anybody could have done, nobody would not have told anybody, so that somebody would not have been blamed !
if everybody did the job anybody could have done, nobody would not have told anybody, so that somebody would not have been blamed !
