A good owner is always
looking for some solid management advice. In addition, every solid employee
should be looking for ways to be a better worker. With that in mind, I share
these two stories that were shared with me:
A crow was sitting on a
tree, doing nothing all day. A small rabbit saw the crow, and asked him,
"Can I also sit like you and do nothing all day long?" The crow
answered: "Sure, why not." So the rabbit sat on the ground below the
crow, and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit and ate
it.
Management Lesson: To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very,
very high up.
A sales rep, an
administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an
antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The
Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you
one wish each."
"Me first! Me
first!" says the administration clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas,
driving a speedboat, without a care in the world."
Poof! She's gone.
In astonishment, "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want
to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless
supply of Pina Coladas, and the love of my life."
Poof! He's gone. "OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the office after lunch."
Moral of the story:Always let your boss have the first
say.
