The Boat Race
An American company and a Japanese company decided to engage in a
competitive boat race. Both teams practiced long and hard to reach their
peak performance. On the big day they felt ready. The Japanese team won
by a mile. 

Afterward, the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. 
Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had 
to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem 
and recommend corrective action. 

The consultant's finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and 
one person steering while the American team had one person rowing and 
eight people steering. After a year of study and millions spent 
analyzing the problem, the consulting firm concluded that too many 
people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team. 

So as race day neared again the following year, the American team's 
management structure was completely reorganized. Th e new structure: 
four steering managers, three area steering managers, one district 
steering manager, and a new performance review system for the person 
rowing the boat to provide work incentive. 

The next year, the Japanese team won by TWO miles! Humiliated, the 
American team management laid off the rower for poor performance and 
gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem!
