Engineer vs Management.
"Once upon a time, a man in a hot air balloon realized that he was
lost.
He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more
and shouted.
"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an
hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied.
" You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the
ground. You're between 50 and 51 degrees north latitude and between 114
and 115 degrees west longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.
"I am," replied the woman.
"How did you know?"
"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically
correct, but I've no idea what to make use of your information. The
fact
is, I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If
anything, you've delayed my trip."
The woman below responded,
"You must be in management."
"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"
"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're
going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot
air.
You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect
people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in
exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, you've
managed.
