Lunch Break
Topic : LeadershipAll morning, an instructor on my staff had been explaining leadership to a class of police recruits. Calling a man to the front of the class, he handed him a piece of paper on which was written: You are in charge. Get everyone out of the room without causing a panic.
The recruit was at a loss for words and returned to his seat.
The second man summoned tried: Everybody outside. Go! No one moved.
A third man glanced at the instructions, smiled and said, All right, men. Break for lunch. The room emptied in seconds.
