Management Lessons

LESSON 1:
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting. On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.The ghost says, "Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each"So the eager senior manager shouted, "I want the first wish. I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries." Pfufffff, and he was gone. Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted "I want to be in Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails." Pfufffff, and he was also gone. Then the boss calmly said, "I want those two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm.
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "Always allow the bosses to speak first"

LESSON 2:
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, the company CEO said to a young executive "Listen, this is a very sensitive and important document, however as my secretary has left for the day can you make this thing work?""Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button. "Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. "I just need one copy."
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "Never assume that the boss knows everything"

LESSON 3:
An American and Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA, when the American turned to the Japanese and asked, "What kind of -ese are you?" The confused Japanese replies, "Sorry but I don't understand what you mean." The American repeated, "What kind of -ese are you?" Again, the Japanese remains confused over the question, so the irritated American again yells, "What kind of -ese are you? are you a Chinese, Japanese or Vietnamese ??? To which the Japanese humbly replied, "Oh, I'm Japanese?. A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked "What kind of -key are you?". To which the frustrated American replies "What do you mean what kind of -key am I?" The Japanese replies with a smile, "Are you a Yankee, Donkee, or Monkee?"
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: "Never insult anyone"

Pakistan & India Comparison

General Musharaf, President of Pakistan was awoken at 4am by the telephone.

Musharaf: "What a disaster! The economy will never be able to cope with all those unwanted babies-we'll be ruined!"
Minister: "We're going to have to ship some condoms in from abroad..."
Musharaf: "Afghanistan...?"
Minister: "No chance!! The tabloids will have a field day on this one!"
Musharaf: "What about India?"
Minister: "Maybe- but we don't want them to know that we are stuck. Call the Indian Prime Minister, Singh- tell him we need one million condoms; colored gold and green; ten inches long and eight inches thick! That way they'll know how big the Pakis really are!!"
Miyan Musharaf called Singh, who agreed to help the Pakis out in their hour of need. Three days later a flight arrived in Islamabad- full of boxes. A delighted Gen.

No Holds Barred

PM: Alright. So what should I tell the press?
Tan Sri: You can tell the press we are going to make sure that this kind of thing will never happen again.
PM: Good. I am glad that finally the police are beginning to agree with us. So they will stop this practice of beating up suspects? This is the assurance the IGP gave you?
Tan Sri: Heavens no YAB! Why would we want to do that? How else can we get the suspects to confess if we don’t beat them up?
PM: Oh, so what action are you talking about then?
Tan Sri: With immediate effect, the police are going to ban all hand-phones in the lockup. This will ensure that no more nude squats or beating videos get leaked to the public.
