The
Americans and Japanese decided to
engage in a boat race. Both teams
practiced hard and long to reach
their peak performance levels. On the big
day they felt ready. The
Japanese won by a mile.
The American team was discouraged by the
loss. Morale sagged. Corporate
management decided that the reason for
the crushing defeat had to be
found, so a consulting firm was hired
to investigate the problem and
recommend corrective
action.
The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing
and one person steering: the American team had one person rowing and
eight people steering.
After a year of study and millions
spent analyzing the problem, the
consultant firm concluded that too
many people were steering and not
enough were rowing on the American
team. So as race day neared again the
following year, the
American's team management structure was completely
reorganized. The
new structure: four steering managers, three area
steering
managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing
the
boat to provide work incentive. The next year, the Japanese won by
TWO miles!
Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the
rower for poor
performance and gave the managers a bonus for
discovering the problem.

A shopkeeper was dismayed
when a brand
new business much like his own opened up next door and
erected a huge
sign which read 'BEST DEALS.'
He was horrified when another
competitor opened up on his right, and
announced its arrival with an
even larger sign, reading 'LOWEST
PRICES.'
The shopkeeper
panicked, until he got an idea. He put the biggest sign
of all over
his own shop. It read 'MAIN ENTRANCE'.

A
very successful businessman had a
meeting with his new son-in-law. "I
love my daughter, and now I welcome
you into the family," said the
man. "To show you how much we care
for you, I'm making you a 50-50
partner in my business. All you
have to do is go to the factory every day
and learn the operations."
The son-in-law interrupted, "I hate factories. I can't stand the
noise."
"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well, then
you'll work in the
office and take charge of some of the operations."
"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being
stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the
father-in-law. "I just made you half-owner
of a moneymaking
organization, but you don't like factories and won't
work in a office. What
am I going to do with you?"
"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me
out."
