Listen To Pigs, Not Chickens

A few weeks ago, I listened to a reading about Scrum, which was basicly a way to manage a software project.
The only thing I'm keep thinking about is: "listen to pigs, not chickens".

This is the story behind it (click on the image if you can't read it):

According to wikipedia: "This fable is commonly referenced to illustrate two types of project members: pigs, who are totally committed to the project and accountable for its outcome, and chickens, who consult on the project and are informed of its progress. By extension, a rooster, or gamecock, can be defined as a person who struts around offering uninformed, unhelpful opinions."

Even though I'm definitly a pig because I work as a software developer, I'm used to listening to far too many chickens... I really have to stop doing that.
