Chinese Team Work
Hope all is fine for you.
Recently I wrote finish my story on Teamwork.
"There is a game call jogging but it needs four joggers to play.
The game can consist of, as many teams as possible but to win the game all four joggers in the same team must complete the race as close to each other as possible.
For example, if the fastest jogger in the team comes in first place and the slowest jogger come in 20th place while the rest comes in 5th place and 10th place the score for the team will be (1+20+5+10)/4 = 9
But another team has the fastest jogger in the team comes in second place and the slowest jogger come in 9th place while the rest comes in 11th place and 12th place the score for the team will be (2+9+11+12)/4 = 8.5
The second team wins because they has a lower score ?to win the game, the team must get the lowest score and this means that all the joggers must keep as close to each other as possible. They must encourage each other to work hard and never abandon any of its team members or they lose the race together.
Your work place is just like this game, are you working together as a team, encouraging each other?
I have spent the last 6 years in China and I always find working as a team impossible, did not the sage Sun Tzu says the working environment is like a battlefield? The Chinese mind is complex, often infused with 36 strategy, Art of War and Thick Black Theory.
Think about this and share this story with your office member, let them wake up and work towards the good of your company.
Take good care my friend!"
