The e-Minute Tips on Motivation, Leadership and Sales

Corporate lesson 4

A sales rep, an administration clerk and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out in a puff of smoke. The Genie says, "I usually only grant three wishes, so I'll give each of you just one."

"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk.
I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world." Poof! She's gone.

Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be in Hawaii, on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of pina and the love of my life."
Poof! He's gone.

OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager. The manager says,
"I want those two back in the office after lunch."

Moral of story: always let your boss have the first say.
