Hardwork or Smart Work
A very
hardworking person was employed by company whose was in the business of wood
cutting. This person was given the axe and he went to forest to chop down the
trees. He worked very hard and was able to chop down six trees in 8 hours. He
was the first person to do so in the entire history of the company. Management
was very happy with his work and gave him extra reward along with the labour of
the day. He was praised a lot and was told to keep the work in the same way.
The person was very happy with the praise and extra money he got, and made a
resolution to do even better next day.
More Hours Less Work
Next day the
person woke early in the morning and went to the work one hour earlier than the
day before and stayed one hour later in the morning to improve his performance
further. Although he added two extra
hours to his worked for 10 hours that day but were able to chop down only four
trees. The person was puzzled as his
performance had come down in spite of putting more efforts. Management also
enquired the reasons for dip in the performance and urged him to work hard.
Effort increased, Performence Reduced
The person
was very hard working and determined. He again made a resolve to improve the
performance by giving more time. Next day he worked for fourteen hours even
without taking rest but to his dismay performance dipped further and he was
just able to, chop down two tress. Now the person and the management were both
worried about this dip in performance from six trees a day to two trees a day
in spite of increasing the work hours by six hours. Now can you please tell
before reading further what might be the reasons for this dip in performance of
the person?
