HOW TO GET AHEAD IN BUSINESS: WATCH CARTOONS

DALLAS (Wireless Flash) -- Wanna succeed in business without really trying? Start watching old Road Runner cartoons. That's the word from management consultants Chip Bell and Oren Harrari, who claim the Road Runner is a good role model for workers who want to get ahead. It seems the cartoon bird shows all the qualities of a top performer -- namely he uses his gut instincts when making decisions and he always seems to be having fun. On the other hand, the business experts think Wile E. Coyote is a horrible role model because he relies on trickery and elaborate schemes to get ahead. The two men are the authors of "Beep Beep: Competing in the Age of the Road Runner" (Warner Books).
