MANAGERS AND ENGINEERS

A team of young budding Managers were given an assignment to measure
the height of a flagpole. So the Managers discussed and put up a project plan
with roles and responsibilities. The manager who was
responsible for organizing 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
start the 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
over pulled the flagpole out of the ground, laid it flat, measured it from
end to end, gave the measurement to one of the managers and
walked away.

After the Engineer went away, one manager turns head to other and
laughs."Isn't that just like an engineer! We're looking for height and he gives the length!"

Moral:No matter how good an engineer you are, Managers always find fault in you
