Devo: Catfish Theory

The catfish effect is the effect that a strong competitor has in causing the weak to better themselves.  Actions done to actively apply this effect (for example, by the human resource department) in an organization, are termed catfish management.

In Norway, live sardines are several times more expensive than frozen ones, and are valued for better texture and flavor. It was said that only one ship could bring live sardine home, and the shipmaster kept his method a secret. After he died, people found that there was one catfish in the tank. The catfish keeps swimming, and the sardines try to avoid this predator. This increased level of activity keeps the sardines active instead of becoming sedentary, according to Vince from the Catfish film

Sometimes we’re the catfish, and sometimes we’re the sardines.  So when there’s a catfish in your tank, remember that the Good Lord put him there to keep your faith fresh and salty.
