Corporate Lesson 1
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."
CHAZAM! She's gone. In astonishment,
"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be
in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal
masseuse, an endless supply of pina coladas and the
love of my life." CHAZAM! 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 the story: Always let your boss have the
first say.
Corporate Lesson 2
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is
finishing up her shower when the doorbell rings. After
a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and
answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps
herself up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she
opens the door, there stands Bob, the next door
neighbour.
Before she says a word, Bob says "I'll give you £800
if you drop that bath towel and show me your naked
body".
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel
and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds,
Bob hands her £800 and leaves...
Confused, but excited about her good fortune, the
woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back
upstairs. When she gets back to the bathroom, her
husband asks from the shower, "Who was that?"
It was Bob the next door neighbour," she replies.
"Great!" the husband says, "Did he say anything about
the ?800 he owes me?"
Moral of the story: If you share critical information
pertaining to credit and risk in time with your
stakeholders, you may be in a position to prevent
avoidable exposure.
