The Race


The Race
( A Malaysia Boleh Story )


Once upon a time, there was a Malaysian Rowing team ...

In line with the Malaysia Boleh spirit, the goverment has agreed with the Japanese government to organize an annual boat rowing race against each other. It was also agreed that each team will consists of 8 men.








After months of intensive training, its RA
CE ON

THE JAPANESE WON BY 1 KM


The Malaysians were FURIOUS with the team's dismal performance . The government has decided to win the race next year at all cost !

Hence they ordered a team of analyst to observe the situation and reccommend appropriate solution(s). After detailed analysis, the analyst team found that the Japanese team has ONE captain and SEVEN rowers



At the same time, they also found out that the
Malaysian team has SEVEN captains and ONE rower





Facing such a critical scenario, the management team showed an unexpected wisdom: they hired a consulting com
pany to restructure the Malaysian team. After months of studying, the consulting company concluded that the Malaysian team has too many captains and too few rowers. A solution was proposed on this brilliant analysis.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE TEAM HAS TO BE CHANGED !!!

The Malaysian team will now consists of ONLY FOUR captains which is led by TWO managers and ONE top manager and ONE rower. Besides that, they suggested to improve the rower's working environment to give him higher competencies



Next year its RACE ON again
THE JAPANESE WON BY 2 KM !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being so depressed, the management team blamed the loss due to the rower's incompetencies and immediately sacked the rower !

But a bonus was paid to the management team for the excellent motivation the team has showed during the preparation phase.
The consulting company further prepared a new analysis whic
h showed the team's strategy was good, the motivation satisfactory but the tools need to be improved.
So the Malaysian team is currently is designing a new boat ...


So we can ONLY DEDUCE from the above that ...
