Dear friends,

Every other day we come across different stories and cartoons about management and managers....Below are two of that type from some of my collections....Enjoy and give your opinion.

STORY 1.

We all know this one
 
One day a man was having a conversation with God when his whole life flashed before his eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. He saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult periods of his life there were only one set of footprints. He asked God "You said you will be with me throughout this journey, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of my life??" to which God answered

"Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see only one set of footprints Because during those difficult times in your life, I was carrying you in my hands"
 
Now know this one too!!!
 
Another day I was having a similar conversation with my Project Manager (PM) when my whole project flashed before my eyes as a series of footsteps on the sands of time. I saw that there were two pairs of footprints, but during the most difficult times in the project there were only one set of footprints. I asked my PM "You said you will be with me throughout the project, but why have you deserted me during the most critical times of the project??" to which the PM answered

"Son, I did not desert you, I was always with you...you see only one set of footprints because during those difficult times, I was sitting on your head!!"

 STORY 2

A man goes into a pet shop to buy a monkey.

The shop owner points to 3 identical looking monkeys on a perch and says the monkey on the left cost $ 500.00,

Why does that one cost so much? Asked the shopper.

The owner says well the monkey knows how to use a computer.

The man then asks about the next monkey and was told that this one cost $1000.00 because it can do everything the other monkey can do plus he knows the Unix operating system.

Naturally the increasingly startled man asks about the third monkey to be told that it costs $ 2000.00.

Needles to say this begs the question.

What can it do?  To which the owner replies:

 

 

 

"To be honest I have never seen him do a thing but the other two call him BOSS"

Thanks,Manoj for referral.Story 1 is the story of determined person who shoulders the responsibility single handed.Story 2 is the story of stakeholder whose very presence realizes the result.The former is the Shaker and later the Mover.

It is amusing, Manoj, very well concocted first one, second one funny, it is a satire albeit fairly realistic too. A creative post, indeed.
