Top 10 Managment Lessons by Humour
Lesson 1 : Lion, The Manager
One day a Lion was sitting outside his cave, lying lazily in
the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.
Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"
Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and
your big claws will only destroy it even more"
Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"
Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions
with great claws cannot fix complicated watches"
Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"
The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes
back with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the
lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.
Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in
the sun.
Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because
mine is broken"
Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"
Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do
you? There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV"
Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"
The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with
a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.
Inside the Cave:
In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking
rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments.
In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.
Moral :
IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A MANAGER
IS FAMOUS, LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.
IF YOU WANT TO
KNOW WHY SOMEONE UNDESERVED IS PROMOTED; LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.
