Hay laø

Coù theå khoâng phaûi....

Every day, a small ant arrives at work very early and starts work immediately.

Moãi ngaøy, chuù kieán nhoû ñeàu ñi laøm raát sôùm vaø baét tay vaøo vieäc

ngay.

He produces a lots and very happy.Chuù kieán laøm vieäc raát gioûi, vaø

luoân vui veû.

The Chief, a lion, was surprised to see

that the ant was working without

supervision.OÂng chuû cuûa chuù, laø con sö töû, raát ngaïc nhieân khi

thaáy chuù kieán laøm vieäc maø khoâng caàn söï

giaùm saùt.

He thought if the ant can produce so much without supervision, wouldn’t she produce even more if she

had a supervisor!Con sö töû suy nghó, chuù kieán ñaõ coù theå laøm toát maø khoâng caàn giaùm saùt, vaäy neáu coù

ngöôøi giaùm saùt thì chaéc chuù kieán coøn

So he recruited a cockroach

who had extensive experience as supervisor and who was famous for writing excellent reports.Theá laø sö töû thueâ 1

The cockroach’s first decision was to set up a clocking in attendance

system.Sau khi ñöôïc thueâ, quyeát ñònh ñaàu

He also needed a secretary to help him

write and type his reports and …Con giaùn cuõng

... he recruited a spider, who managed the

archives and monitored all phone calls.... noù thueâ 1 con

The lion was delighted with the cockroach's reports

and asked him to produce graphs to describe

production rates and to analyse trends, so that he

could use them for presentations at Board‘s

meetings.Con sö töû raát haøi loøng

So the cockroach had to buy a new computer and a laser printer and ...

Theá laø con giaùn mua 1 caùi maùy vi tính môùi, cuøng vôùi 1 maùy in lazer,

vaø...

... recruited a fly to manage the IT department.... noù thueâ 1 con

ruoài ñeå laøm quaûn lyù boä phaän

IT.

The ant, who had once been so productive and relaxed, hated this new plethora of paperwork

and meetings which used up most of her time…!Nhaéc tôùi con kieán, luùc tröôùc laøm vieäc raát chaêm vaø thoaûi maùi, giôø

The lion came to the conclusion that it was

high time to nominate a person in charge of the department where the

ant worked. OÂng chuû sö töû ñi ñeán keát luaän laø caàn phaûi cöû moät

ngöôøi laøm quaûn lyù nguyeân caû boä

The position was given to the cicada, whose first decision was to buy a carpet and an

ergonomic chair for his office.Chöùc vuï oâng chuû nhoû naøy ñöôïc giao cho 1 con ve saàu, vaø quyeát ñònh ñaàu tieân cuûa con ve laø

The new person in charge, the cicada, also needed a computer

and a personal assistant, who he brought from his previous

department, to help him prepare a Work and Budget Control Strategic

Optimisation Plan …Vaø ‘oâng chuû’ ve saàu naøy cuõng caàn theâm 1 maùy vi tính vaø moät thö kyù rieâng, ñoù laø thö kyù cuõ cuûa noù, ngöôøi ñaõ giuùp cho noù chuaån bò Keá Hoaïch Toái Öu Hoaù Chieán Löôïc Kieåm Soaùt

The Department where the ant works is now a sad place,

where nobody laughs anymore and everybody has become

upset...Vaên phoøng con kieán laøm vieäc trôû thaønh

It was at that time that the cicada convinced the boss , the lion, of the absolute necessity to start a climatic study of the environment . Theá laø con ve saàu thuyeát phuïc oâng

Having reviewed the charges for running the ant’s department , the lion found out that the production was much

less than before.

Sau khi xem laïi caùc baùo caùo taøi chính

So he recruited the owl , a prestigious

and renowned consultant to carry out an audit and suggest solutions.Theá laø sö töû thueâ 1 con cuù,

The owl spent three months in the department and came up with an enormous report , in several volumes,that concluded : “ “ The department is The department is overstaffed ...”overstaffed ...”

Guess who the lion fires first?Ñoaùn xem oâng chuû sö töû sa thaûi ai

The ant , of course, because he “showed lack of motivation and had a

negative attitude".Dó nhieân seõ laø con kieán, vì noù

“thieáu ñoäng cô laøm vieäc vaø coù thaùi ñoä bi quan trong coâng vieäc”.
