JODY for the 4th Day of HOOT!

April 27, 2016 by Diana

HOOT! 2016 really is just around the corner! That means that we are working out the last details with multiple check-lists and lots of phone calls, texts, and emails flying back and forth among gala committee members, attendees, board members, and volunteers.

It’s times like these that I think about Jody and her managerial skills.

While most of the time Jody is quite independent and content to do her own thing, when there are group “projects” to do – like moving from one area to another for meals – Jody can always be counted on to make sure the other chimpanzees are on task. She’s not pushy; she always encourages “compliance” in the gentlest of ways, sometimes even using play to encourage a lagging friend to follow the group.

Jody is also the only chimpanzee of the group of seven who will lend a hand simply when we ask for it, just so that we can continue with the routine of the day.

 

It’s pretty difficult to choose, but I think this image of Jody is my favorite of the seven images that will be available for bidding on during the event’s Happy Hour.

I’ve chosen Jody to inspire me today to get through my to-do list and remember the teamwork that it takes to accomplish just about everything in life. Maybe she’ll inspire you too.

Speaking of teamwork, today’s countdown is thanks to these generous Chimpanzee Champion Corporate Sponsors, who not only support HOOT! but are good friends to the sanctuary throughout the year.

    How precious…she really understood when you asked her to get the rest of the blankets out of the way of the door. I am constantly amazed by these intelligent creatures. Just loved this video.

    The story, photo and video of Jody are delightful, but the video is the best! I just love that she goes back for the blanket and the doll. Oh she is so dear. (And I see my Negra in the background heading upstairs for some sun bathing perhaps?!)

    This is a great post. It’s fun to be learning more about each of the chimps. Some of my former bosses could take a lesson in leadership from Jody!

    Looking forward to HOOT!
