Travails of a Manager

As nearly everyone knows, a Manager has particularly nothing to do except:

To decide what is to be done
To tell somebody to do it
To listen to reasons
- Why it need not be done (or)
- Why it is not his job (or)
- Why it should be done in a different way, etc.
To decide as to who should do it (the most ticklish part of the business)
To follow up to see if the thing has been done
To discover it has not been done
To enquire why
To listen to excuses
To entrust it to someone else
To discover that it has been done incorrectly
To point out how it should have been done
To find it to be of no avail
To conclude that as long as it has been done,
it may as well as be left alone.
To wonder if it is not the right time to get rid of the people who cannot do a thing right.
To reflect that each probably has a family and that, any successor would certainly be just as bad or may be worse!
To consider how much simpler and better
the thing would have been done
if one had done it oneself
in the first place!
To reflect sadly
That you could have done it right
in twenty minutes
what has taken
a couple of weeks
for somebody else
to do it wrong !
