Funny Jokes - Row row row your boat
It was resolved to have a boat race between two teams, representing the
cream of British and Japanese industry. Both teams practised long and hard
to reach their peak performance and on the big day they were as ready as
they could be.
The Japanese won by a mile.
The British team was very discouraged about this. Senior management decide
that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found and a working party
was set up to investigate the problem and recommend appropriate action.
Their conclusion was that whereas the Japanese team had eight people rowing
and one steering, the British team had one rowing and eight steering. So
the seior management immediately hired a firm of top consultants to do a
study on the team's structure. Millions of pounds and several months later
they concluded that 'there were too many people steering and not enough
rowing'.
To prevent losing to the Japanese team next year, the team structure was
changed to three 'Assistant Steering Managers', three 'Strreing Managers',
one 'Executive Steering Manager' and a 'Director of Steering Services'. A
performance and appraisal system was set up to give the person rowing the
boat more incentive to work harder.
The next year, the Japanese team won by two miles.
As a result, the British team sacked the rower for poor performance, sold
off all the oars, cancelled all capital investment for new equipment and
halted the development of a new canoe. The money saved was used to find the
senior management's performance bonuses.
