Sometimes a company name rings a funny bell. What might you associate Statler with? Right! The Muppet Show. The legendary duo Statler and Waldorf love to give their unsourced opinions. Big mouth, small heart.
Did you know their "roots" are in the hotel industry? They are named after iconic New York hotels: the Statler Hilton and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotels. You could read more about Ellsworth Statler in an earlier article. He built the largest American hotel empire this past century, taking hospitality to a higher level. Our company name is a tribute to this enterprising pioneer.
Humor with a Twist
The two stubborn grumblers Statler and Waldorf, are the "taste-makers" of the Muppet Show. Safely from their balcony, they treat the audience to sharp remarks and roaring laughter. Criticism wrapped in sharp humor has the audience in stitches. We love it, those great one-twos. Let us refresh your memory!
Statler: This show is awful. Waldorf: Terrible! Statler: Disgusting! Booh! Waldorf: See you next week? Statler: Of course.
Statler: I really liked this show tonight.
Waldorf: At these prices, who's gonna complain?
The comments are off the charts, but one thing is clear. These oldies don't like change. Attempts of all Muppets to make their show better or more beautiful are put under a critical magnifying glass. With a healthy sense of humor, certainly! We see the connection with the business world. There is a Statler and Waldorf in every organization. The trick is not to wave away their objections, but to take them seriously. Show what innovation brings, so that the fear of the unknown disappears.
OK so far the fun, time for analysis and business!

Waldorf: Well this has been an evening to remember.
Statler: Why?
Waldorf: I forgot.
Waldorf: Just when you think this show is terrible something wonderful happens.
Statler: What?
Waldorf: It ends.
Waldorf: Wake me when the show starts.
Statler: It's already been on a while.
Waldorf: O, wake me when it's over.
