Fun Time: Ladder

The management ladder...

A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She reduced
altitude and spotted a man below. She descended a bit more and
shouted, "Excuse me Sir, can you help me? I don't know where I am, I
had promised someone, I should be there."

The man below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering
approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41
degrees north latitude and between 59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer", said the lady balloonist.

"I am", replied the man. "How did you know?"

"Well", answered the lady in the balloon, "everything you told me is
technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your
information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been
much help to me at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip even
more."

The engineer below responded, "You must be in Top Management."

"I am", replied the lady balloonist, "but, how did you know?"

"Well", said the Engineer, "You don't know where you are, or where
you're going. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep,
and you expect people beneath you, to solve your problems."
