Personnel decisions
The director of a large organization needed to determine the importance of individual managers for the company, which he managed. He was thinking for a long time how to do it. All departments had worked without problems and assignments had been met. The director has therefore decided for the following experiment.
He brought all the leading employees to a sort of monthly holidays. Here they could relax, swim in the sea, invent new concepts of running their teams, and sharing opinions with other chiefs.
However, they were cut off from the possibility of daily inspections of their teams. They did not have any phones, e-mails, Internet, or a carrier pigeon.
After a month of absence of the bosses, the director went through all of the departments. Some departments worked all the time without their boss without any problems, while other departments desperately needed their head for their successful operation in the course of the first week.
Now, think yourself and try to identify with the role of the director of the mentioned company. Which of the programs of his department heads was better? The one when the boss was already indispensable in a week, or the one when the department was self-sufficient and worked without any problems the entire month?
