The car-maker Henry Ford hired an efficiency expert to go through his plant. He said: "Find the unproductive people. Tell me who they are and I'll fire them!"
The expert made his rounds with his clipboard in hand and finally returned to Henry Ford's office with his report. "I've found a problem with one of your managers," he said. "Every time I walked past his office, he was sitting with his feet propped on the desk doing nothing. I definitely think you should consider getting rid of him."
When Ford asked who the man was, he shook his head and said: "I can't fire him. I pay that man to do nothing but think. And that's what he's doing."
Moral: In the Information Age, thinking is more important than doing.
