Stories are pointers to conversations. But why use pointers when everything can be written done and followed to the letter?

When requirements go wild…

Management lesson from 2 letters

“One new leader of his country found on his desk two letters from his predecessor, numbered 1 and 2 and to be opened in the case of the first emergency and the second. Well, the first emergency happened. The new leader opened the first envelope and the letter said, “blame me.” He did; his people bought it. Life went on. A year later another emergency hit. He opened the second envelope and the letter said, “now sit down and write two letters.”

This wouldn’t be that funny if this wasn’t happening so frequently.

New manager comes in.
Changes things his way.
Team fails.
Blames predecessor.
Moves on.

So what does new manager ought to do? Maybe nothing — besides listening.
