Modern Management of companies facing us daily to a myriad of new and super technical issues, the methodologies for undertaking new projects, strategic planning, the Pareto, CRM, marketing, and its terms convoluted English.
However, in our country of contrasts and endless day-to-day management to the theory of balladeers, while I was in the position of General Counsel of a channel television, I lived an experience that will surely challenge the managerial skills of anyone who tries to go too deeply into the subject.
It was already 4 pm, the workday was almost over for most, I never went out before 7 pm, my desk full of contracts with foreign producers, program schedule projects requiring compliance with the law, proyactos installation of transmitters and microwave networks, and in the midst of this tangle of legal issues appears the cleaning lady, and a little sorry I says Dr. Rojas, here is your roll of toilet paper these days .... where I leave .... Certainly not understand
that I spoke. I looked up embarrassed to ask: Excuse me? My toilet paper? Which toilet paper?
The lady kindly repeated, his half thereof, which touches on the company.
I still do not understand. I touch a toilet paper by the company?, If the of these days, insists the lady, and added, I need to sign here that you received.
In that moment I understood, in the company every worker had a roll of toilet paper itself, which the company graciously distributed from hand to hand, so when you ever need me to move to the bathroom with my roll on their backs, showing the rest of the I intend to humanity to satisfy a physiological need, # 2, and even showing the level of expenditure of the roll, indicating the frequency of use during the 15 days, or worse, the level before entering the bathroom and the subsequent level, indicating safe the magnitude of the event.
My answer to the lady was of thanks, which was followed by my signature and my gift gesture toilet paper roll, he evidently did not want.
Hardly was the lady, I had to stop working and I could not stop thinking about what had just happened. I thought of all the years of study at the University, the 2 post-graduate facts, but there was no lesson to help me clarify this.
I could not help recalling the event that after 7 years at school the teacher made me vicious no toilet and I got up, then with horror I remembered the time when arriving in Venezuela left softly and toilet paper we had to settle with that horrible scraping paper, I remembered when, years later, the wife of a friend helped me make the first market for my bachelor apartment, and forced me to buy more expensive toilet paper, because "you soft deserves. "
The next day, I made inquiries into the case and informed me the contents of the policy of the company toilet paper, it appeared that On one occasion, the bathrooms were clogged with toilet paper that was put to the use of workers, and the decision of the Management Services, was to deliver to each his toilet paper, so do not let temptation vandals who caused the disaster. Nothing silly awareness campaigns, zero respectful treatment to people, "if they want to be a beast, that they are" in order to keep your own toilet paper and holy Easter.
Management That seems to be moving our country, the toilet paper. Each with its roll on their backs.
