(from my email at work, fyi.)
Does your Department have a problem in recruiting the right person for
the
right Job? If yes, try this simple experiment :
Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an
open window. Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from
outside.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then analyze the
situation:
If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks - PUT THEM IN
ACCOUNTS DEPT.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks - PUT THEM IN
ENGINEERING
If they are arranging the bricks in some other order - PUT THEM IN
PLANNING.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other - PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.
If they are sleeping - PUT THEM IN SECURITY.
If they have broken the bricks into pieces - PUT THEM IN INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY.
If they are sitting idle - PUT THEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT.
If they have thrown the b ricks out of the window - PUT THEM IN THE
MATERIALS DEPT.
If they are clinging onto the bricks - PUT THEM IN TREASURY.
If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has
moved - PUT THEM IN SALES.
If they have already left for the day - PUT THEM IN MARKETING.
If they are staring out of the window - PUT THEM IN STRATEGIC PLANNING
AND last but not least....
If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved
-
PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT.
