Corporate Learning Series - 6/ Manager Vs Engineer.

Once during a Management training program, a team of Senior Managers

were given an assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. So these

Managers went out to the flagpole with ladders and tape.

They're falling off the ladders, dropping the measuring tape - the whole

thing is just a mess.

An Engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do, walks over,

pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to

end, gives the measurement to one of the managers,

Re-erects the flagpole and walks straight-away.

After the Engineer has gone, one Manager turns to another and laughs …

"Isn't that just like an engineer? We're looking for height and he gives the

length!"

Moral : No matter what good you do, Management can always find fault in you .
