Saw this over on Failblog and it made me think about dealing with shark-infested waters in the workplace. Sometimes the best route to avoid painful conflict is just to get the Hell out of the water.

About the Author
Paul lives, rides and works in Cardiff, South Wales. His work seems to largely entail fixing things and keeping wheels on. Officially, he is actively engaged and interested in Enterprise Architecture these days, but has a secret past that involved standing around on glaciers collecting meltwater samples, and walking through endless fields of wheat taking radiance measurements. 
All you need is a convenient passing boat. BTW, orcas are reputed to be mean, nasty creatures. If I’d been on that little inflatable I’d have pushed the penguin back into the water
Better him than me!
If you’re going into this inspirational, leadership, sort of thing, you’re going to have to get a better video-streamer. Nice film, even if it did splutter, cough, and jump around a bit.
Great vid, but it’s not sharks that are after the wee penguins. It’s a pod of young killer whales. Sharks don’t come in two-tone paint jobs with blowholes.
Well spotted. If you look really closely, you’ll see the velcro fastenings on the Orca suits as it was actually a load of reef sharks on their way to a fancy dress party. I believe the Penguin was indeed Danny DeVito too – he just can’t get over the fact that everyone panned the Batman film he was in.
