Got this today in my email..sharing it with fellow CD members..
============================================

There were about 70 scientists working on a very hectic project. All of
them were really frustrated due to the pressure of work and the demands of
their boss but everyone were loyal to him and did not think of quitting the
job.

One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him - Sir, I have promised
to my children that I will take them to the exhibition going on in our
township. So I want to leave the office at 5 30 pm. His boss replied "OK,
You're permitted to leave the office early today".

The Scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual
he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch when he felt
he was close to completion. The time was 8.30 PM. Suddenly he remembered of
the promise he had given to his children.

He looked for his boss, he was not there. Having told him in the morning
itself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was
feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home.
Children were not there.


His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation
was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, "Would
you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are
hungry.

The man replied "If you would like to have coffee, i too will have but what
about Children?" Wife replied "You don't know? Your manager came here at
5.15 PM and has taken the children to the exhibition "
What had really happened was ... The boss who granted him permission was
observing him working
seriously at 5.00 PM. He thought to himself, this person will not leave the
work, but if he has promised his children they should enjoy the visit to
exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them to exhibition.

The boss does not have to do it everytime. But once it is done, loyalty is
established.
That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss
even though the stress was tremendous.
By the way, can you hazard a guess as to who the boss was..?
