American Management Style

A Japanese company and an American company decided to have a canoe race on the Missouri River. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day, the Japanese won by a mile. The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reason for the crushing defeat. A management team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had eight people rowing and one person steering, while the American team had eight people steering and one person rowing. So American management hired a consulting company and paid them a large amount of money for a second opinion. They advised that too many people were steering the boat, while not enough people were rowing. To prevent another loss to the Japanese, the rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to four steering supervisors, three area steering superintendents and one assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance system that would give the one person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the "Rowing Team Quality First Program", with meetings, dinners and free pens for the rower. There was discussion of getting new paddles, canoes and other equipment, extra vacation days for practices and bonuses. The next year the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles and canceled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses, and the next year's racing team was outsourced to India.

Clipe electorale

nu stiu de ce imi bag nasul in acest subiect ca tot nu pot sa particip la alegerile locale. probabil pentru ca este ceva de actualitate si am vazut pe cele cateva bloguri pe care le citesc niste articole interesante. am mai incercat eu sa dau cateva sfaturi (vezi articolele din Politichie) fara succes insa...sic
asa ca de data asta nu mai dau sfaturi promit...
cand am fost in Bucuresti campania nu incepuse inca, insa am vazut un clip care sugereaza (artistic asi putea spune) cam pe unde ne situam:

sigur ca mi-ar fi placut mult mai mult sa vad un clip in genul celui folosit dincolo de atlantic (am sa il pun mai la sfarsitul articolului deci nu disperati..:-) pentru a sugera oamenilor ca o schimbare este necesara. vazand insa cum au evoluat lucrurile de prin 90 incoace, inclin sa le dau dreptate celor care au conceput clipul, ca la noi e nevoie de o voce mai ridicata pentru a te face auzit. urmeaza sa vedem ce impact are si daca are impact ce se va intampla dupa alegeri. sper deasemenea sa vad clipuri asemanatoare si pentru celelalte orase din romania si sper sa fie atasate de persoane care intr-adevar vor schimba ceva. sau poate ca sunt eu un optimist incorigibil.

si acum pentru cei care au avut rabdare sa citeasca tot postul iata si exemplul american despre care vorbeam mai sus:


si ca sa vezi ca si ei folosesc atacul la persoana uite si continuarea:

Muzici

M-a intrebat un prieten ieri, ce muzica mai ascult? Este posibil ca starea pe care o am acum sa ma indemne sa ascult CE, oricum asta e muzica pe care am ascultat-o zilele astea: Am sa o schimb cu ceva mai vesel saptamana viitoare, promit.
