Does Your Company have the Right Person in the Right Chair ?

Does your Company have a problem in recruiting the right person for the
right chair?
If yes, try this simple experiment.

Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room
with an open window.
Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from outside.
Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then analyze the
situation:

1) If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks
- PUT THEM IN ACCOUNTS DEPT.

2) If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks
- PUT THEM IN THE ENGINEERING

3) If they are arranging the bricks in some other order
- PUT THEM IN PLANNING.

4) If they are throwing the bricks at each other
- PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.

5) If they are sleeping
- PUT THEM IN SECURITY.

6) If they have broken the bricks into pieces
- PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.

7) If they are staring out of the window
- PUT THEM IN THE EXPORT

8) If they are sitting idle
- PUT THEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT.

9) If they have thrown the bricks out of the window
- PUT THEM IN THE MATERIALS DEPT.

10) If they are clinging onto the bricks
- PUT THEM IN TREASURY.

11) If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a
brick has moved - PUT THEM IN SALES.

12) If they have already left for the day
- PUT THEM IN MARKETING.

AND last but not least....

13) If they are talking to each other and not a brick has moved
- PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT

cheers !
