        *Subject:* Comparison between managers and engineer

        A team of young budding Managers were given an assignment to
        measure the height of a flagpole.

        So the Managers discussed and put up a project plan with roles
        and responsibilities.

        The Manager who was responsible for organizing the
        resources went out and got a ladder and a tape.

        The  tape measure was just the ordinary tape of 6 feet.

        The lead manager assigned another manager to go on top of the
        pole and start the measure.

        They were falling off the ladders, dropping the tape measures -
        the whole thing was just a mess.

        An Engineer came along and saw what they' were trying to do.

        He walked over pulled the flagpole out of the ground, laid it
        flat, measured it from end to end, gave the measurement to one
        of the managers and walked away.

        After the Engineer went away, one manager turns head to another
        and laughs.

        "Isn't that just like an engineer? We're looking for height and
        he gives the length"


        Moral: **No matter how good an engineer you are, Manager always
        finds fault in you.**
