Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their peak performance before the race. On the big day the Japanese team won by a mile. Afterward, the American team became very discouraged and morally depressed. The American management decided the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found. A Management Team made up of senior management was formed to investigate and recommend appropriate action. Their conclusion was the Japanese had eight people rowing and one person steering while the American team had eight people steering and one person rowing. So the American management hired consultants and paid them an incredible amount of money. They advised that too many people were steering the boat while not enough people were rowing. To prevent losing to the Japanese again next year, the American rowing team's management structure was totally reorganized to four steering supervisors, three area steering superintendents, and one assistant superintendent steering manager. They also implemented a new performance and productivity system that would give the one person rowing the boat greater incentive to work harder. It was called the Rowing Team Quality First Program with meetings, dinners, PowerPoint presentations and free pens for the rower. Even new paddles and medical benefit incentives were promised for a winner in an attempt to give the rower empowerment and enrichment through this quality program. The next year the four steering supervisors supervised; the three area superintendents superintended; the assistant superintendent steering manager managed and the rower rowed as hard as he could. Nonetheless, the Japanese won by two miles. Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, hired a Mexican rower replacement, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and cancelled all rower medical benefits. The money saved was distributed to the senior executives as a bonus. ----------------------------SPONSOR----------------------------- Are You A Dunker Or A Twister? How do you eat your Oreo cookies?
