Chapter 5 - Discussion of the Boss

The team was doing target month on month basis and inventory was under control but the lion was anxious. He thought he had disbursed the less target to its employees. He was worried to fix the right target. So he called a meeting. A mail was dropped to the subordinates the leopard and the cheetah. They were instructed to prepare the complete data of investment and sales on excel. They were advised to keep their inputs in notes to improve work efficiency and sales so that they can be discussed in the meeting. Both leopard and cheetah sat together and prepare the complete presentation and draft a 20 point note to discuss in the meeting. The meeting was started with a warm welcome and motivating lecture. It was continued until lunch. In the post-lunch session, the lion started detailing the expectation of the company. Both leopard and cheetah were alert to discuss the matter but lion continues until tea. After tea, the lion gave a hint that the target would become double. Cheetah resisted it and leopard supported him. It provoked the lion. He roared loudly and it scared both of them. They tried to argue and lion tried to suppress them. In the end, deal fixed and it was 1.5 times. Both leopard and cheetah took a sigh of relief that anyhow they managed to get the best possible target but they had to face the real problem and it was to convey this message down the line. So they discussed and decided to call a meeting. They wrote a mail to down the line. The team were instructed to prepare the complete data of investment and sales on excel. They were advised to keep their inputs in notes to improve work efficiency and sales so that they can be discussed in the meeting. MORAL OF THE STORY: The literary meaning of the discussion with the boss is to listen to the speech of the boss carefully, to understand the meaning of his language and to accept the target given by him.
