How to put the right person in the right chair?

Does your Company have a problem in recruiting the right person for the right chair? If yes, try this simple experiment.



Put around 100 bricks in some particular order in a closed room with an open window. Then send 2-3 candidates into the room and close it from outside. Leave them alone and come back after 1 hours, and then analyze the situation:



If they are counting and recounting the number of bricks - PUT THEM IN ACCOUNTS DEPT.



If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks - PUT THEM IN ENGINEERING



If they are arranging the bricks in some other order - PUT THEM IN PLANNING.



If they are throwing the bricks at each other - PUT THEM IN OPERATIONS.



If they are sleeping - PUT THEM IN SECURITY.



If they have broken the bricks into pieces - PUT THEM IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.



If they are sitting idle - PUT THEM IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEPT.



If they have thrown the bricks out of the window - PUT THEM IN THE MATERIALS DEPT.



If they are clinging onto the bricks - PUT THEM IN TREASURY.



If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has moved - PUT THEM IN SALES.



If they have already left for the day - PUT THEM IN MARKETING.



If they are staring out of the window - PUT THEM IN THE EXPORT



AND last but not least.... If they are talking to each other and not a brick has moved - PUT THEM IN TOP MANAGEMENT.
