How many managers does it take to change a light bulb?
1) A roomful - they have to hold a meeting to discuss all the ramifications of the change.
2) None, they like to keep employees in the dark.
3) "This topic was resumed from last week's discussion, but is incomplete pending resolution of some action items. It will be continued next week. Meanwhile ..."
4) "We've formed a task-force to study the problem of why light bulbs burn out, and to figure out what, exactly, we as supervisors can do to make the bulbs work smarter, not harder."
"Eight. One to assign the task, one to define the parameters of the task, one require weekly and daily status reports, one to require a technical and a n operations summary, one to write an executive summary, one to pretend to read the reports, one to take all the credit and one to congratulate everyone on a job well done."
