STUNTMAN- Management Story

The story is from my e-book 20 Phases of SUCCESS available to download at 
http://bookstore.bookcountry.com/Products/SKU-000970621/20-Phases-of-SUCCESS.aspx

You would have seen events like bike stunts in which STUNTMAN jumps over many cars (or crosses a long distance).  Stuntman jumping in the air looks astonishing and amazing. Jump may take less than 1 minutes but it has days/months of efforts behind it. Stuntman is the FRONT FACE (Sales person) for the audience but at the back there is team of technicians and operations guys who checks the distance, makes the slanted platforms for take-off and landing, bike technician, decides the approximate speed of the bike & of course the distance bike has to travel before take-off.  There can a medical team who take care of the STUNTMAN’s health and confirm him to take the jump.

If jump is successful it make audience happy and whole team enjoys, shares and cheers the success.  

Suppose any of the technicians or OPERATIONS TEAM does an error, jump would not be possible and it may be a CRASH landing. Or suppose his company provides him a bike which is less powerful (INSUFFICIENT INFRASTRUCTURE).

Stunt man (sales person) faces the anger and disappointment of the audience as well as his own company.  In short it looks Stuntman has failed.

Moral of the story:  Choose a company which has a Strong OPERATION TEAM and INFRASTRUCTURE and leave the company which you feel is weak otherwise you may end up some day with a CRASH.
