WHY A MANAGER IS FAMOUS

 

It’s a fine sunny day in the forest and a lion is 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.

Scene:

Inside the lion’s 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.

Dr. MPS RAMANI Ph.D.[Tech.] (Scientist/Engineer)     05 April 2011

There is a book titled "Betrayers of Truth". It narrates the cases of many celebrities of the world, who claim credit for work done by others. The list contains the name of Dr. M. S. Swaminathan, the well-known agricultural scientist.

There was a story that late Saddam Hussain, requested late Dr. Raja Ramanna, supposed to be father of India's first nuclear device exploded in 1974, to make the atomic bomb for him. Dr. Ramanna felt scared and hurriedly left Bagdad. Why did Dr. Ramanna leave? Some say, because he did not kow how to make the bomb.
