A frog goes into
the bank and asks the
teller for a loan. The teller tells the frog to
see Mr. Paddywack,
the loan officer.
Mr. Paddywack looks at the frog and says, "What do
you have for
collateral?"
The frog pulls out of his pocket
a solid silver elephant.
Mr. Paddywack looks at the elephant
and says, "I don't know. I'm
going to have to ask Mr. Larson, the
bank manager to approve this."
He goes into Mr. Larson's office
and comes back.
Two minutes later, Mr. Larson comes out with
the elephant and says,
"It's a knick-knack Paddywack, give the frog
a loan!"

This is the story of four
people named
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an
important job
to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could
have
done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because
it
was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but
Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. Consequently, it wound up
that Nobody told Anybody, so Everybody blamed Somebody.

An American automobile company and a Japanese
auto
company decided to have a competitive boat race on the Detroit
River. Both
teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak
performance. On the
big day, they were as ready as they could
be.
The Japanese team won by a mile.
Afterwards, the American team
became discouraged by the loss and their
morale sagged. Corporate
management decided that the reason for the
crushing defeat had to be
found. A Continuous Measurable Improvement Team
of "Executives" was
set up to investigate the problem and to
recommend appropriate
corrective action.
Their conclusion: The problem was that the
Japanese team had 8 people
rowing and 1 person steering, whereas the
American team had 1 person
rowing and 8 people steering. The American
Corporate Steering Committee
immediately hired a consulting firm to
do a study on the management
structure.
After some t
ime and billions of dollars, the consulting firm concluded
that
"too many people were steering and not enough rowing." To
prevent
losing to the Japanese again next year, the management structure was
changed to "4 Steering Managers, 3 Area Steering Managers, and 1 Staff
Steering Manager" and a new performance system for the person rowing
the boat to give more incentive to work harder and become a six
sigma
performer. "We must give him empowerment and enrichment." That
ought to
do it.
The next year the Japanese team won by two
miles.
The American Corporation laid off the rower for poor
performance, sold
all of the paddles, cancelled all capital investments
for new
equipment, halted development of a new canoe, awarded high
performance awards to
the consulting firm, and distributed the money
saved as bonuses to the
senior executives.

The world is divided into two groups. There
are those who
know, and those who don't know. Those who know are no
problem.
Those who don't know are also in two
groups.
One is those who don't know and know they don't know. Well, they can
learn!
But then, there are those who don't know, and don't
know they don't
know. And they become unit managers!
