Quote from the little story:

“Well,” said the woman, “you don’t know where you are or where you’re going. You have risen to where you are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you’ve no idea how to keep, and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it’s my fault.”

Ask who is she talking about? I think most of us faced this problem one time or another in our work, don’t we? It is ironic that the fault usually lies with the employers and usually the employees are the ones to be blamed rather than the big guys up stairs. But that is life. Will it change? I don’t think so, rich and powerful people will never accept responsibility when there is failure but they will be the first to claim credit when something goes well. Sad, but true. Just look around in Singapore and you will see that our leaders are a good example of this. If the economy is doing well, they get all the credit. But when the economy is not doing well, they will claim that others are causing the downturn and that the workers are just plain lazy, unproductive and uncreative who are causing all the problems for the economy. Man, I just love my country’s great leaders.
