Ever felt neglected by your boss? Sure you have. It’s in the boss’s job description to be a douche every once in a while, but he/she has a good excuse for being like that. Shahir Zag explains this mentality with this simple quote

:

A tiger doesn’t lose sleep over the opinion of sheep.

— Shahir Zag

While it’s certainly not fair for the sheep, it does seem to work well for the tiger. When it boils down to who’s in charge and keeps everything in check, this mentality helps a great deal. Taking into account all the bickering and the complaints slows things down. Just like compassion wouldn’t do the tiger much good either.

Shahir Zag, the author of this clever enounciation, spent four years at two creative hot shops in Mumbai before moving to Y&R Dubai in 1997.

He is regarded as an instrumental creative figure in the Middle East thanks to his witty writing, unique design, and art direction. He’s won a bunch of trophies at ANDY, Art Directors Club, One Show, Cannes Lions, Clio, D&AD, London International, and New York Festivals. He’s also a judge at many of these shows.
