The straw that broke the camel’s back
Have you heard the saying "it was the straw that broke the camel’s back?" It seems that a camel can carry over 800 pounds. So, it has the capacity to carry an exceptional amount of weight.
If we follow that line of thinking, a single straw weighs almost nothing and yet, it broke the camel’s back. What was that straw that caused the final breaking point? How did it end up on the camel in the first place? Was the camel already carrying straw and this was too much of the same? Was the straw something new and different that caused that broken back?
Visually, you can imagine what happened to the 800 plus pounds of items already on the camel’s back. All of those items were scattered about and fell off. Quite possibly, some of the items were ruined and no longer useable. Clearly that little straw… that one more thing… had bigger implications and impact than could have been imaged.
This saying infers that it is a small, seemingly minor, incident that can result in disaster.
So, as you run your organization/company/area of responsibility, are you one step away from having a straw break you? Are you one step removed from potential wreckage?
Today, many of us are stretched thin, balancing lots of responsibilities, dealing with conflicting priorities. Like the camel, some of us are on the brink of that straw causing it all to tumble down.
What, for you, is that straw that would break your back? Where are you the most vulnerable? Do you even know?
