The occasion was the inauguration of a branch centre.
The atmosphere wore a festive look.
A caparisoned elephant was the cynosure of the day.
Then the usual fanfare and festivities.
.
Local dignitaries had specially arrived.
All important persons
They had come from the local head office.
And, in their presence,
one more branch centre was inaugurated.
.
Then the crowd dispersed.
Dignitaries left.
And the local head office men gone.
.
Inside the office inaugurated,
A girl was seen standing.
Standing alone.
That she was alone
Perhaps that was her worry.
.
A fresh recruit she was
She had come to report for work.
She will learn work from the new office.
She will manage the work of two departments!
.
The other department was fortunate.
There were two assistants.
Cash department was luckier –
they had a cashier
and another supervisor too.
.
All this against the normal requirement of
twenties and thirties
able and experienced workmen
They will turn out work -
the whole lot of it.
.
One or two or three hands now posted -
they were to manage work there.
And the able managers
who had planned the strategy
They had left the scene,
grand inaugural ceremony over.
.
Inauguration was their main worry.
How the work will be done was also a worry -
worry only for those who were posted there.
.
Managers are there to ask for timely reports.
Performance and then results.
Nothing else will they listen.
They are very able men
They have heard some words
Usually management men use
high sounding jargons.
.
At the end,
a short man asked
why do you worry:
"Man power?
We will provide that ."
.
You've now understood –
he is the personnel manager !
……
The lesson:
There are inefficient managers who escape from problems using management jargons.
