The Loudest Voice Isn’t Always the Biggest Impact
A visual comparison of the fish employee and the chicken employee asks how often we overlook quiet people whose contributions make a difference.

The loudest voice in the room isn’t always the one making the biggest impact.
THE FISH EMPLOYEE
• Works in silence
• Produces something valuable (like caviar)
THE CHICKEN EMPLOYEE
• Clucks all day
• Makes a lot of noise to produce a single egg
Sometimes, the quietest people bring the most value.
Makes you wonder how often we overlook the people who truly make a difference.
