A team of young budding Managers were given an assignment to measure theheight of a flagpole. So the Managers discussed and put up a project planwith roles and responsibilities. The manager who was responsible fororganizing the resources went out and got a ladder and a tape.
The tape measure was just the ordinary tape of 6 feet.
The lead manager assigned another manager to go on top of the pole and startthe measure. They were falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures -the whole thing was just a mess.
An Engineer came along and saw what they' were trying to do. He walked overpulled the flagpole out of the ground, laid it flat, measured it from end toend, gave the measurement to one of the managers and walked away.
After the Engineer went away, one manager turns head to another and laughs."Isn't that just like an engineer! We're looking for height and he gives thelength"
Moral: No matter how good engineer you are, Managers always find fault inyou:-))
