Management Theory : Lesson 2

Management Theory : Lesson 2 一个销售代表，一个办公室文员，还有他们的经理一起走着赶去吃午饭，突然发现了一盏古老的油灯。他们在上面擦了擦，灯神从里面蹦了出来。灯神说，“我给你们每人一个愿望。” “我先来！我先来！”办公室文员喊道，“我想到巴哈马去，开着快艇，无忧无虑地过日子。” 接着她噗地就不见踪影了。“该我了！该我了！”销售代表喊道，“我想去夏威夷，躺在海滩上，有私人按摩师为我服务，有喝不完的玛格丽塔酒，还有我心爱的人陪在身旁。”然后他也噗地不见了。“好了，到你了。”灯神对经理说。经理立即回答说，“我想让他俩吃完午饭后回办公室来。” A sales rep, administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says, "I'll give each of you just one wish." "Me first! Me first!" says the admistration clerk. "I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speed boat, without a care in the world." Puff! She's gone. "Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, and endless supply of margaritas and the love of my life." Puff! He's gone. "Okay, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager immediately replied, "I want those two back in the office after lunch." Moral of the story: Always let your boss have the first say. |
