There was a veteran in the United States who was wounded on the battlefield, and when he came back to the place, he was old and wounded, and he was a disabled veteran. So finding a job became very difficult, and many units rejected him, and every time he took a firm step and continued to look for possibilities.
This time, he came to the United States the largest timber companies to cover him through several levels, finally found the vice President of this company, he is very firmly to the vice President said: "the vice President, I'm a veteran, solemnly promise to you, I will you give me any task, please give me a chance."
The vice President looked at his age and looked at him like a joke, and really gave him a job. What kind of job is that? That's a mess in the middle of America. Before this, the company sent very many good managers, don't do this job well, because here have bad customer relationship, the debts of the company for a long time can't take back, the image of the company there was damaged.
The vice President thinks: better than your manager can't complete this task, I would like to sell a favor, also let you prove that you are not the material.
The veteran said, "I promise to get the job done."
The next day, he went to the market, and a few months later, he retrieved the company's image from Central America, smoothed out the customer relationship, and owed almost all of it.
On a weekend afternoon, the President called the veteran to his office.
Tell him, "I'm going out to do something this weekend. My sister is getting married in Utah. I'm going to her wedding.
Please buy me a present.
The gift was in a gift shop. There was a blue vase in the beautiful window.
After he described it, he handed the address card to the veteran.
After receiving the task, the former soldier solemnly promised his boss, "I promise to complete the task!"
The veteran saw the back of the card, with the owner's train and seat, because the owner told him to get the vase and deliver it to his car.
So the ex-soldier immediately took action, and it took him a long time to find the address, and when he found the address, his mind was blank.
Because there was no shop in the address that the boss described, nor that beautiful window, nor the blue vase.
Everybody, what would you do if it were you?
"I'm sorry, the address you gave me was wrong," he would say to the boss.
So I can't get the blue vase.
But the veteran didn't think so, because he promised his boss that he would get the job done.
So the first time I wanted to call my boss to confirm it, but the boss's phone was out of order.
Because during the weekend in North America, the boss is not allowed to disturb him, usually the boss's cell phone is not answered.
How to do?
One time in the past, the veterans in combination with the map and then by the method of sweep the street, where the distance this address five blocks, finally saw the boss described the store, looked at a distance, is the beautiful window, he has already seen that a blue vase.
He was very happy, but he flew away, the door had been locked, and the store had closed early.
If it were you, what would you do?
You will say: sorry boss, because you give me the address is wrong, I am good not easy to find, but somebody else has shut down.
But the veteran didn't think so, because he promised his boss that he would get the job done.
Combining the yellow pages and the address, the soldier finally found the store manager's phone.
When he called, he said he would buy the blue vase.
"I'm on vacation," he said. "I'm not open."
Then he left the phone.
If it was you, you would say sorry to the boss, people are not open, I can't buy.
You'll find a bunch of reasons why you haven't done it.
But the veteran didn't think so, because he promised his boss that he would get the job done.
He was thinking, even if I pay a heavy price, I will get the blue vase.
He wanted to break the window to get the blue vase, so the veteran turned to look for his tools.
As soon as he could find the tool to come back, a policeman was coming from a far distance, and the policeman came to the window and stood still.
Then the veteran waited patiently for a long time. The policeman didn't mean to go.
This time, the veterans realized what, he again went to the store manager's telephone, he said the first sentence, I with their own lives and a military honor, I have to get the blue vase, only because I promised, this relates to a military honors and lives, would you please help me.
The man stopped hanging up his phone and listened to him all the time.
He tells the story of how the wounded on the battlefield, because commitment comrades on the battlefield, must save comrades life, must recite the battlefield in arms, for which he injured, disabled.
Moved by him, the manager finally decided to send a man to open the shop door and sell the blue vase to him.
The veteran got the blue vase. He was very happy.
But by this time, the boss's train had opened.
If it were you, what would you do?
You'll find a bunch of reasons to explain to the boss: you gave me the wrong address, I found it hard to find, and the house was closed.
I met with frustration and suffering and finally got the blue vase, but your train was already on.
But the veteran didn't think so, because he promised his boss that he would get the job done.
The veterans to call his former comrades in arms, he wants to hire a private plane, because there are a lot of people in North America have private plane, he finally found a willing to give him the private jet on loan, then he rides on the plane after the boss the next stop on the train, when he was panting ran into the platform, the boss of the train slowly pulled into the station.
When the boss told him the number, he went to the boss's car and saw that the boss was sitting quietly. He put the blue vase carefully on the table.
Then he said to the boss, "President, this is the blue vase you want. Give it to your sister. Have a nice trip."
Then he turned and got off.
The first day of the week, the boss called the veteran to his office.
Tell him, "thanks for the gift. My sister loves it.
I thank you for completing the task.
In fact, the company over the years, has been a manager, would like to send him to the far east as chief executive, this is one of the most important divisions of the company, but before we are in the process of selecting managers, always can't get it.
Later, the consultants gave us a blue vase to test the selection of managers.
In the process of selecting the managers, most people do not complete the task, because we give address is false, we close the door, let the store manager with before we let he can only answer the phone twice, only one person in the past tests done, because he got the only blue smashed the window of glass vases, we felt that we didn't agree with our company's code of ethics, not being hired.
So in later tests, we hired a heavily armed police officer.
But all of this doesn't prevent you from completing the task.
You have done your job well, and now I have officially appointed you President of our far east region on behalf of the board of directors...
"
What is execution?
This is execution!
Success is no accident!
