Management 101
Pointy-Headed Manager sees Worker Bee struggling with the task of putting six million nails into a wall. When Pointy-Headed Manager asks for suggestions as to how to improve his performance, Worker Bee replies that at one minute per nail it will take him six million minutes to finish the task, but that one hundred thousand Worker Bees will complete the job in an hour. Pointy-Headed Manager gathers his Pointy-Headed Management Team into an emergency meeting to discuss the problem and after six hours of Pie Charts and Action Items declare that they have come up with a winning solution. The following morning, one hundred thousand off-shore Worker Bees assemble at a remote support site and swing their hammers in unison - ten thousand miles away from the six million nails.
