Engineering vs. Management

Interesting analogy :-

A man in a hot air balloon realised he was lost. He
reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He
descended a bit more and shouted,

"Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I
would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I
am."

The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon
hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're
between 40 and 41 degrees North latitude and between
59 and 60 degrees west longitude."

"You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

"I am," replied the woman, "how did you know?"

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told
me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to
make of your information, and the fact is, I'm still
lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If
anything, you've delayed my trip."

The woman below responded, "You must be in
management."

"I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you
know?"

"Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are
or where you are going. You have risen to where you
are due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a
promise which you've no idea how to keep, and you
expect people beneath you to solve your problems. And
when things don't go right, you would always blame
those below !"
