The document discusses problems that arise when management fails to adapt to changes and places short-term goals over the well-being of employees. Specifically, it uses the metaphor of a carriage being pulled by a donkey to represent a business, where management puts the carriage in front of the donkey, blocking its view of the road. This leads to the business going in the wrong direction. While some see the problem, management typically blames the donkey rather than fixing the root issue of poor guidance and communication.

1. The Carriage and the
Donkey in business
administration
By Donkey Management

2. Apologies to the Donkey
I wrote this for fun and I
apologies to the Donkey,
please don’t feel offended

3. The problem
In todays most businesses; what so call
business people, managers and C’ class are
not aware of the changes around them and
they still want to direct using the concept it
is my carriage and
I place the Donkey whenever I like
Normalization of Donkey’s Position in front of the carriage
Guiding
Directions

4. The Solution
The solution of those top managers and
owners comes always this way
By placing the cart infront of the Donkey

5. The results
• The donkey does not see the road
• The donkey goes to left and the carriage goes to the right
• And vise versa and versa vice
• Audience watch and cannot comment
• Managers, owners and C’s try to fix the problem cause they will
allow any one else to fix it
• The problem is obvious to some, but
• Some don’t care

6. The final solution
The managers, owners and C’ usually and most of the
cases realize the problem and talk to the Donkey
accusing him (petty) that he is a donkey and because
he is; he does not get angry. As a matter of fact you are
calling him by name.
They decide to fix the problem;
And what they do?
Change the Donkey
And the problem geos on forever
