It’s Awesome... Please Read.

The Perfect Boss . . .

There were about 70 scientists working on a

 

very hectic project. All of  them were really

 

frustrated due to the pressure of work and the

 

demands of their boss but everyone was loyal

 

to him and did not think of quitting the job.

 

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told

 

him - Sir, I have promised to my children that I

 

will take them to the exhibition going on in our

 

township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.

 

His boss replied "OK, You're permitted to leave

 

the office early today"

 

The Scientist started working. He continued his

 

work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such

 

an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt

 

he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM.

 

Suddenly he remembered of  the promise he had

 

given to his children. He looked for his boss, He

 

was not there. Having told him in the morning

 

itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep

 

within himself, he was feeling guilty for having

 

disappointed his children. He reached home.

 

Children were not there. His wife alone was sitting

 

in the hall and reading magazines.

 

The situation was explosive, any talk would

 

boomerang on him. His wife asked him "Would you

 

like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve

 

dinner if you are hungry.

 

The man replied "If you would like to have coffee,

 

i too will have but what about Children ??"

 

Wife replied "You don't know ?? Your manager

 

came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children

 

to the exhibition "

 

What had really happened was ...

 

The boss who granted him permission was

 

observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM.

 

He thought to himself, this person will not leave

 

the work, but if he has promised his children they

 

should enjoy the visit to exhibition.

 

So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition

 

The boss does not have to do it every time. But

 

once it is done, loyalty is established.

 

That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued

 

to work under their boss even though the stress

 

was tremendous.

 

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?

 

GO BELOW FOR ANSWER

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

He was none other than

 

 

 

Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, Former-President of India . . .

Amazing, my respect for our former president goes up several notches now. Our country would progress much faster if we had at least 50% of the bosses like this. Bravo !
Mr. Abdul Kalam, you are really a living inspiration to all of us. 
Wish all our bosses were like him instead of back biting and plotting against us at our back.

Good one. Incidentally, let me reveal a bit of a secret here. I interviewed Dr Kalam last year for a TV channel. It was a two-camera interview. We had done our homework and prepared an extensive questionnaire. But we were stumped when his PA told me that Dr Kalam himself had been preparing for the interview for days and through this interview he wanted to propagate his vision for India in 2020. Also, Dr Kalam had his own team to record the interview and had a separate special computer installed for the purpose. There was another computer, a sort of a tele-prompter, that would scroll down his answers to every question, though he was answering the questions extempore. The teleprompter was there only to assist him. However, he did not use it very extensively and often replied to the questions (which we had given to days before) extempore. This is the thoroughness of the gentleman called Dr Kalam.
