Food for Thought

 

 

 
 

Does your Organization have a problem in recruiting the right person for the right chair? If yes, try out this simple experiment.


Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from outside. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours, and then analyse the situation:

 
• If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks PUT THEM IN CASH
• If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks PUT THEM IN THE CLEARING DEPT
• If they are arranging the bricks in some other order PUT THEM IN PLANNING
• If they are throwing the bricks at each other PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS
• If they are sleeping PUT THEM IN SECURITY
• If they have broken the bricks into pieces PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
• If they are staring out of the window PUT THEM IN THE NRI CELL
• If they are sitting idle PUT THEM IN HRD
• If they have thrown the bricks out of the window PUT THEM IN THE LOANS SECTIONS
• If they are clinging onto the bricks PUT THEM IN TREASURY
• If they are talking to each other and not a brick has moved PUT THEM IN MANAGEMENT
• If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has moved PUT THEM IN SALES
• If they have already left for the day PUT THEM IN MARKETING
