HOW TO PROPERLY PLACE NEW EMPLOYEES

1. Put 400 bricks in a closed room.
2. Put your new employees in the room and close the door.
3. Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours.

Then analyze the situation:

• If they are counting the bricks put them in the Accounting Department.


• If they are recounting them, put them in Auditing.


• If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks, put them in Engineering.


• If they are arranging the bricks in some strange 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 sitting idle, put them in Human Resources.


• If they say they have tried different combinations, they are llooking for more, yet not a brick has been moved, put them in Sales.


• If they have already lleft for the day, put them in Marketing.


• If they are staring out of the window, put them in Strategic Planning.


• If they are talking to each other, and not a single brick has been moved, congratulate them and put them in Top Management.

Finally, if they have surrounded themselves with bricks in such a way that they can neither be seen nor heard from, put them in Government.
