Put 20 chimpanzees in one room, hang a banana on the ceiling and put a ladder giving access to the banana.
Make sure there is no other way to catch the banana than using the ladder and set up a system that drops very cold water into the room as soon as you start to climb the ladder.
Chimpanzees quickly learn that the ladder should not be climbed.
Then shut off the chilled water system, so that climbing no longer has its freezing effect.
Now replace one of the 20 chimpanzees with a new one. The latter, obviously, will try to climb the ladder and without understanding why, he will be beaten by the others. (They know something he doesn't know.)
Replace one of the old chimpanzees with a new one. The latter will be beaten again, and it is the one that was introduced just before him that will hit the hardest.
Continue the lesson until there are only new ones. Then none will try to climb the ladder, and if ever there is one who for some reason dares to think about it, he will be massacred right away by the others. The worst part is that none of the chimps now have a clue why you shouldn't climb the ladder.
This is how the "corporate culture" is born and works ....
The corporate culture ...
