What would the situation be if the Engineer is in Management ?
Once upon a time, a man in a hot air balloon realized that he was
lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a
bit more and shouted. "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend
I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."
The woman below replied. "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 50 and 51
degrees north latitude and between 114 and 115 degrees west
longitude."
"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist. "I am," replied the
woman. "How did you know?" "Well," answered the balloonist,
"everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea how
to make use of your information. The fact is, I'm still lost. Frankly,
you've not been of much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my
trip."
The woman below responded, "You must be in management." "I am,"
replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," said the
woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have
risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a
promise, which you've no idea how to keep, and you expect people
beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is, you are in exactly
the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, you've
managed to make it my fault!!"
"His Love conquers everything..."
