A group of Fortune 500 managers was beginning several days of training together. 

“As we go around the room,” said the facilitator, “tell us how doing your job well increases the profits of your company.” 

There were 25 managers in the room.  Only five could make a credible connection between their jobs and the profits of the business. 

Had they been a jazz group as poorly organized, it would have sounded liike the first day of fourth-grade band.
