Put 100 bricks in any particular order in a closed room with an open
window. Then send in two or three candidates and close the door.
Leave them alone. Come back after 6 hours. Then analyse the situation.
If they are still counting the bricks, put them in the accounts
department.
If they are recounting them, put them in audit.
If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in
engineering.
If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order, put them in
planning.
If they are throwing the bricks at each other, put them in operations ..
If they are sleeping on the bricks, put them in security.
If they have broken the bricks Into pieces, put them in information
technology.
If they are sitting idle, put them in human resources.
If they say they have tried many combinations, yet not a brick has
moved, put them in sales.
If they have already left for the day, put them in marketing.
If they are staring out of the window, put them on strategic planning.
And then, last but not least. If they are talking to each other and
not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them In
top management.
