But somewhere the hare and the tortoise story script is playing out in their heads and they expect to see these "hares" by the side of the road as they plod ahead in life. Look I told you, these smart alecs do fall by the wayside ultimately.
This is a place where TACT plays a big role and the ability to be astute politically is key to survival & growth in the corporate world. Again the hare is likely to win here much to the chagrin of the tortoise. Let's also remember that the leaders in the firm, even in seemingly opposing camps are sharp individuals, else they would not have got to where they have. And if they are taking such individuals along despite the perceived lack of not having delivered anything significant, then clearly they see some value that you do not see.
That should be quite an important insight for the tortoises. Academics? Fine. Hard work, Diligence, Trust? Of course, that's hygiene. You need that little extra (which is not little BTW) to be able to race ahead.
PS: After reading some of the comments to this post, I thought I should add this piece at the end. I have seen and experienced many of the "hares" in my life. It is easy to call them names and label them as sycophants and therefore their bosses as arrogant and promoting sycophancy. I have noticed that people who react or label the hares become increasingly bitter over time - "I cannot be a bootlicker". And with increasing bitterness comes toxicity that they tend to spread within the firm. I am merely providing a different lens with which to view the hares here. The choice is for us to either use this lens and try and make some peace with ourselves or decide to be bitter and over time become toxic. In such a situation we have two options - 1) we leave the place and hopefully find a better home or 2) we learn to cope and refuse to spread toxicity within the firm. To be fair to the organisation that employs us, I think these are the best options.
Can you imagine how much the tortoises of the world would relish the amazing speed, outgoing nature, and carefree actions of the hare if they had them at their disposal? Can you imagine how much the hares across the planet could learn to appreciate the steady and persistent and reliable finishes of the tortoise?
Aesop's fable about the tortoise and the hare became a metaphor for the 2000 pre-convention presidential campaign. Although faster, Al Gore, the hare, seemed to bounce around, while George W. Bush, the tortoise, wheeled steadily ahead. A Bush lead in the polls dropped after Gore's appearance at the midsummer Democratic Convention. Hare and Tortoise 2000, June 18, 2000

I came across Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm, also known as Floyd's Tortoise and Hare Algorithm. The idea behind the algorithm is that, if you have two pointers in a linked list, one moving twice as fast (the hare) than the other (the tortoise), then if they intersect, there is a cycle in the linked list. If they don't intersect, then there is no cycle.
Since hare and hare.next are both not null, we'll enter the while loop. Tortoise and hare are not equal to each other, so we will move them both over. Tortoise gets moved over one spot, and hare gets moved over two spots.
He truly is a fickle character. He knows his ability. He stands apart from the tortoise in physical talent, but he underestimates the tortoise. The very notion that a sluggish animal like him could even think about challenging a hare, is a joke.
The Tortoise & the Hare is a 2013 wordless picture book of Aesop's classic fable and is illustrated by Jerry Pinkney. It is about a tortoise and a hare that compete in a foot race with the tortoise surprisingly winning.

In the rabbit and tortoise race the rabbit runs for 2 minutes at the speed of 7.5km/hr and slept 56 min and again runs for 2 min at a speed of 7.5 km/hr , find the average speed of the rabbit in the race ?
Hare was 1200 m away from the finish line when he slept under a tree. Tortoise crossed him with a steady speed of 5 cm/s. Hare woke up after 6.5 hours. What is the minimum acceleration required by the hare to cross the tortoise before this finish line?
Years after their original race, the tortoise and the hare decide to race again, this time bringing along their kids. Along the way they learn new lessons, and the importance of family. Full description
Once upon a time, there was a tortoise and a hare. Tortoise was friendly and quiet. He did everything slowly. Hare was flashy and rude. He did everything quickly. Hare was certain that when he challenged Tortoise to a race, he would be the winner. But things didn't turn out as Hare expected in the classic Aesop's fable.
