* The Perfect Boss *

There were about 70 scientists working on avery hectic project. All of them were

really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of their

bossbuteveryone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting the job. One

day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised to my

children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our township. So I

want to leave the office at 5 30 pm.His boss replied "OK, You're permitted to

leave the office early today"The Scientist started working. He continued his

work after lunch. As usual he got involved to such an extent that he looked at

his watch when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM.

Suddenly he remembered of the promise he had given to his children.He looked

for his boss,,He was not there. Having told him in the morning itself, he

closed everything and left for home.Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty

for having disappointed his children. He reached home. Children were not

there.His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines.The

situation was explosive, any talk would boomerang on him. His wifeasked him

"Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you

are hungry.The man replied "If you would like to have coffee, i too will

have but what about Children ??"Wife replied "You don't know ??

Your manager came here at 5.15 PM and has taken the children to the

exhibition "What had really happened was .... The boss who granted him

permission was observing him working seriously at 5.00 PM.He thought to

himself, this person will not leave the work, but if he has promised his

children they should enjoy the visit to exhibition.

So he took the lead in taking them to exhibitionThe boss does not have to do it

everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is established.That is why all the

scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss eventhough the stress

was tremendous.By the way , can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was

????????He was none other than Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam., our

President.Regards,r.ramnath
