提 要
十九世紀法國作家大仲馬的名著《三劍客》裡,有一句出名的座右銘:「人人為我,我為人人」(All for one, one for all)。
人是群居動物,誠心助人,他人也樂於助我。透過互相幫助、倚靠,人才可以生存。
A group of employees was working in a software company. It was a team of 30 employees. This was a young, energetic and dynamic team with keen enthusiasm and desire to learn and grow. The management decided to teach the employees about finding real solution to the problems.
The team was called to play a game in a banquet hall. The group was quite surprised as they were called for playing game. All reached the venue holding various thoughts. As they entered the hall, they found the hall decorated beautifully with colourful decorative papers and balloons all over the place. It was more like a kid's play area, than a corporate meeting hall.
Everyone was surprised and gazed at each other. Also, there was a huge box of balloons placed at the centre of the hall.
The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and asked them to blow it. Every one happily picked a balloon and blew it.
Then the team leader asked them to write their names on their balloon, carefully so that the balloons didn't blow up. All tried to write their names on the balloons, but not everyone was successful. A few balloons blew up due to pressure and they were given another chance to use another balloon.
Those who failed to mark their names even after the second chance were ruled out of the game. After the second chance, 25 employees were qualified for the next level. All the balloons were collected and then put into a room.
The team leader announced the employees to go to the room and pick the same balloon that had his name on it. Also, he told them that no balloon should blow up and warned them to be very careful!
All 25 employees reached the room, where the balloons carrying their names were thrown here and there. They were searching for the respective balloons carrying their names. While they were in a rush to find the specific balloons, they tried not to burst the balloons. It was almost 15 minutes and no one was able to find the balloon carrying his own name.
The team was told that the second level of the game was over.
Now it is the third and final level. They asked the employees to pick any balloon in the room and give it to the person named on the balloon. Within a couple of minutes all balloons reached the hands of the respective employee and everyone reached the hall.
The team leader announced; this is called real solutions to the problems. Everyone is frantically hunting for solutions to the problems without understanding the ideal ways. Many times, sharing and helping others give you real solutions to all problems.
Help out each other to ease things.
解 說
一群員工在一家軟體公司工作,這是一個由三十名成員組成的團隊。他們年輕、充滿活力,熱情洋溢、渴望成長學習。管理階層決定教導員工找到問題的真正解決方案。
年輕團隊被叫去宴會廳,非常驚訝被要求玩遊戲。所有成員到達會場時都滿腹狐疑。當他們進入大廳,發現裝飾精美的彩色裝飾紙和氣球遍布。這與其說是公司會議大廳,更像是一個孩子的遊樂區。
每個人都驚訝地彼此注視。在大廳的中心,放著一個大盒子裝滿了汽球。
管理組長要求每個人從箱子裡挑一個汽球,並且吹氣。於是人人高興地拿起汽球,吹圓了它。
然後,管理組長要求他們在汽球上寫上自己的名字,小心地使勁以免汽球爆炸。所有人都試著在汽球上寫名字,但不是人人都成功。幾個汽球由於受壓而爆炸,這些人有機會再用另一個汽球。
那些第二次嘗試寫名字還是弄破汽球的人,被取消遊戲資格。二十五名員工獲得了下一階段的遊戲資格。收集有他們名字的汽球後,讓他們進入另一房間。
管理組長對房間裡的員工宣布,找到有自己名字的汽球。此外,他告訴他們,不可以重新吹一個汽球,並警告他們要「非常小心!」
二十五名員工進入房間,那裡的地板上,有寫著他們名字的汽球。他們搜尋各自的汽球,上面有他們各自的名字,每個人急急忙忙、上上下下地找,試圖不讓汽球爆炸。差不多十五分鐘過了,沒有一個人能夠找到有自己名字的汽球。
團隊被告知,第二階段的比賽結束了。
接著開始第三個也是最後一個階段。管理者要求員工挑選房間裡的任何一個汽球,然後將汽球傳給名字的主人。在幾分鐘內,所有汽球都與員工的名字完成配對,每個人都回到大廳。
管理組宣布,這就是所謂「真正的問題解決辦法」。每個人都拚命想辦法解決問題,卻不理解最理想的方式。很多時候,分享和幫助他人,會讓你找到解決所有問題的方案。
彼此幫助,解決問題很輕鬆。
