A short story on management, power and common sense.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful island with only two
people on it. There was more than enough fruits in the jungle and more than
enough fish for them to fish every day. Both of them will take turn to go out
to find food and the other will do the cooking. The system was working fine and
life was simple and peaceful.
Then one day, a plane crashed near the island. Ten people
managed to survive and they managed to swim to the island. Now, things are
getting a little bit more complicated now. There were 12 people now (10 + 2) and
things now need to be ‘organized’. However, one of them was a flight marshal
and he has a ‘gun’ with him. So he said, ‘I have a gun and I am the most
powerful here. Everyone needs to listen to me!’
So, he was ordering everyone around by threatening them. He
gets to eat without really contributing to the team. Then one day, while he was
asleep; his gun was stolen from him. So, now, there is a new ‘boss’ and the new
boss now is in charge and get to ‘order’ everyone around to be his slaves. The ‘previous’
boss was angry and he wanted to get his gun back. Well, the new boss knew that
he would try and he has to kill the ‘previous’ boss. The previous boss was shot
on the head.
Then, the same thing happened again. While the ‘new’ boss
was asleep, his gun got stolen from him. So now, there is a ‘newer’ boss.
Again, the same thing happened. The new boss was killed by the ‘newer’ boss.
This series of events got repeated over and over again. So as expected, everyone
was killed and there is only one person left on the island. He could not
survive as he was alone and there was no one to help him. In the end, he too
died and there was no more human on the island. The island was peaceful and
beautiful again. The End…
