Assessment Of Two Employees.. - A Big Lesson For All Workers. by tk4rd: 12:47pm On Jan 19, 2017 |
Real Life Story.....® Ezra and Thomas joined a company together a few months after their graduation from university. After a few years of work, their Manager promoted Ezra to a position of Senior Sales Manager, but Thomas remained in his entry level Junior Sales Officer position. Thomas developed a sense of jealousy and disgruntlement, but continued working anyway. One day Thomas felt that he could not work with Ezra anymore. He wrote his resignation letter, but before he submitted it to the Manager, he complained that Management did not value hard working staff, but only promoted only the favoured! The Manager knew that Ezra worked very hard for the years he had spent at the company; even harder than Thomas and therefore he deserved the promotion. So in order to help Thomas to realize this, the Manager gave Thomas a task. “Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in town?” Thomas returned and said, "yes there is someone!" The Manager asked, "how much per kg?" Thomas drove back to town to ask and then returned to inform the Manager; "they are R13.50 per kg!" The Manager told Thomas, "I will give Ezra the same task that I gave you. Please pay close attention to his response!" So the Manager said to Ezra, in the presence of Thomas; “Go and find out if anyone is selling water melons in town?” Ezra went to find out and on his return he said: "Manager, there is only one person selling water melons in the whole town. The cost is R49.00 each water melon and R32,50 for a half melon. He sells them at R13.50 per kg when sliced. He has in his stock 93 melons, each one weighing about 7kg. He has a farm and can supply us with melons for the next 4 months at a rate of 102 melons per day at R27.00 per melon; this includes delivery. The melons appear fresh and red with good quality, and they taste better than the ones we sold last year. He has his own slicing machine and is willing to slice for us free of charge. We need to strike a deal with him before 10am tomorrow and we will be sure of beating last year's profits in melons by R223 000.00. This will contribute positively to our overall performance as it will add a minimum of 3.78% to our current overall sales target. I have put this information down in writing and is available on spreadsheet. Please let me know if you need it as I can send it to you in fifteen minutes." Thomas was very impressed and realized the difference between himself and Ezra. He decided not to resign but to learn from Ezra. As we begin this fresh year, let this story help us keep in mind the importance of going an extra mile in all our endeavors. You won't be rewarded for doing what you're meant to do, you only get a salary for that! You're only rewarded for going an extra mile; performing beyond expectations. To be successful in life you must be observant, proactive and willing to do more, think more, a more holistic perspective and go beyond the call of duty. May you be blessed with a better perspective to your work this year. *Greater life needs this mentality of going an extra mile, As Husband's, mothers, children; Let's go an extra mile in all our endeavour.. Let us always have this in our minds... .. The reason why employers do not workers is that workers do only what they are told to do.. They don't put in their own initiatives.. Investors put in whatever it takes wherever they are, even if they find themselves as employees, or an entrepreneurs or self-employed.. They go extra miles to get things "Better done".. That is why employers love investors. Have a blessed day. 120 Likes 24 Shares |

Woooow best write up ever Equating it with sch exams, it's not like we all don't know the answer, the fact is most of us just write a two sentence answer, summarizing it while someone else is giving a detailed account on the answer and applying it to the economy and other aspect of the course....
