A large company was looking for a highly qualified person for the position of manager. However, despite dozens of interviews with highly educated candidates wearing pantsuits, no candidate was able to get the job. The main reason for this was that the owner of the company himself sat on the panel of interviewers, and when the other members of the panel had finished their questions, the owner would finally ask each candidate what was the most special thing about a good manager. In response to this question, some candidates would say that a good manager should be punctual, some would say that he should be professional, some would say that he should be skilled, some would say that he should be experienced, some would say that he should be responsible, and some would say that honesty is the hallmark of a good manager. However, the company owner would remain unsatisfactorily silent on each of these answers and would ask the candidate to leave. The other members of the panel were both fed up with the interview and curious about what the company owner considered the most important thing about a good manager. They themselves tried to find out the answer to this question from the company owner, but the owner did not reveal his desired answer to anyone. And asked the panel to continue the interviews.
One day, a young man dressed in simple clothes and with a normal appearance came for an interview. Seeing him, the panel members looked at each other sarcastically as if saying that if so many modish and up-to-date people could not pass this interview, then how could this desi person be selected and there is no question that he knows the answer to the question that caused the failure of the other candidates.
Well, the young man answered the questions of the panel with great confidence. After which the owner of the company asked his question, 'Gentleman, tell me what is the best quality of a good manager?'
The young man bowed his head for a while after hearing the question and then looked at the company owner and smiled with full confidence and said, 'Sir, a good manager is one who knows and understands the company's affairs better than the company owner and who is the owner in name only.'
The panel members were shocked after hearing this strange and strange thing. They were shocked at the young man's rude and insulting tone and showered him with words like 'shut up' and 'mind your language'. However, the company owner asked the members to be quiet and wait. Then, smiling, he addressed the young man and said, 'You answered absolutely correctly, but from whom did you learn this?' The panel members started looking at each other in surprise.
The young man replied with a smile with uncharacteristic self-confidence. 'Sir, from your home and from your parents'
The panel members started listening to the young man carefully. The young man continued his speech while looking at the members in turn and addressing them. 'We siblings considered our father the head of our household. Let's assume for a minute that he was the owner of the company. It was his responsibility to provide for the entire household. But whose manager's job was it to run the household? Whose clothes are hung where, whose shoes are kept, whose books are kept where, whose toys are lying around, who will wash the clothes if they get dirty, who will iron them and give them away, who is responsible for making everyone's favorite food, making them and putting them in front of them, then who is responsible for washing the dishes, then cleaning the whole house, sweeping, mopping the floors, putting everyone to bed at night, waking up first in the morning and waking everyone up, preparing an open locker for each one and sending them to school, patching up clothes if they get torn, stitching up buttons if they break, giving them nutritious food and medicine if they get sick, preparing everyone for Eid, weddings, trips, visiting relatives, cooking food for a dozen guests at a party at home, pouring oil on the head, pulling out the hair, putting cold compresses on the forehead in case of fever, massaging, sometimes kheer, sometimes halwa, sometimes gajreela, sometimes khichdi, sometimes yolk, sometimes syrup, sometimes boiled eggs, and who knows what else. My mother was the one who managed all this. She was a wonderful manager. Sometimes, we would forget and ask our father where our things were, and he would scold us and say, "Hey, brother."What do I know, ask your mother. And what's even more interesting is that my father's mobile phone, wallet, clothes, shoes, motorcycle keys, and even office files were at my mother's address. That's when we often teased my father and said, "You are only the nominal owner of the house. My mother knows and understands the house much more than you." My father would also admit with a laugh that he never worries about anything when I am with him, so he is the nominal owner of the house.... That's all, sir. That's why, according to me, this is the definition of a good manager.
The company owner looked at the young man with appreciative eyes and then addressed the panel and said, "You all scolded him after hearing this young man's answer."
But now that he has explained his answer, I hope you have understood that behind his answer there is also his observation and a lifetime of experience and a solid theory. I also want a manager like that, with whom I can become a nominal owner and a carefree person. Saying this, the company owner congratulated the young man on being selected for the post of manager and extended his hand for a handshake, and the panel members praised him.
There are two sides to this story, one is that the home environment is the best school and the other is that instead of resorting to rote and worn-out bookish things to convince others, simple words should be used, based on pragmatism and natural observation.$BTC
