One day, as you’re trudging slowly over the mountain of work between you and the blessed relief of the stiff drink and the soft couch in your living room, one of your employees walks into your office. You’ve never liked this guy; in fact, he got the job over your objections. You remain suspicious of his qualifications, and you have some lingering doubts about some the entries on his resume. For example, you couldn’t find anyone except for some shifty-looking dudes who call themselves “community organizers” who were willing to act as references. Nonetheless, he demands your attention.
“Boss, I’ve got this great idea! If we implement
it, everything about our company will improve. We’ll be more efficient, more
productive and more profitable. Meanwhile, the morale of the employees will
improve dramatically. Even the guys on the janitorial staff will reap benefits!
I can’t believe anyone hasn’t thought of it before! And all I need is” — you
brace yourself — “more money.”
