Is your boss like this...

Scientists in a Rocket launching station in Thumba, were in the habit of working for nearly 12 to 18 hours a day. There were about Seventy such scientists working on a project. All the scientists were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - "Sir, I havepromised to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm."

His boss replied - O K, , You are permitted to leave the office earlytoday.

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. Asusual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt he was close to completion.The time was 8.30 p.m

Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children. He looked for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he closed everything and left for home.

Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed hischildren.He reached home. Children were not there.His wife alone was sitting inthe hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive, any talkwould boomerang on him.His wife asked him - Would you like to have coffee or shall I straightaway serve dinner if you are hungry.The man replied - If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but what about Children???

Wife replied- You don't know - Your manager came at 5 15 p.m and hastaken the children to the exhibition.What had really happened was..

The boss who granted him permission was observing him working seriouslyat 5.00 p.m. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the work,but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition.

The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is established.That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under theirboss eventhough the stress was tremendous.

By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was????????

He is now the first citizen of our Nation.

are u a management consultant?

it was a chill evening in a green pasture land with sky in its best blue colour. a shepherd was engaged in taking care of his flock of goats with his dog.

as, an unusual happening, a silver shining stylish BMW Z4 came in a rash mode and skidded near him. he was amazed when it was parked near him. the door opened and a young charming man with full fledged suit approached him. the conversation begun...

BMW guy: Hey shepherd, if i say u the number of goats in the flock without counting, will you give me one goat as a compliment?

The shepherd with a bit of stun agreed to it.

The guy took his laptop, connected a GPRS device to it, attained a satellite link, located the flock and the results were displayed in a minute.

The shepherd had no way than giving away a goat. He said, "Ok Sir, you can take any goat from the flock as you wish"

The young man (with a winning whistle and smile) took one and was about to start off from that place. The shepherd stopped him and asked

"You are a stranger to this place...If I say whom you are, Will you give back my goat?"

The young man agreed with surprise.

Shepherd: You are a Management Consultant
BMW guy: (with an open mouth) how do you know that?

Shepherd: It’s very simple. I observed two things.

1. You gave me information which I already knew in a different format.
2. You took my dog instead of goat.

BMW guy: @@~~@@
