【正确答案】As could be conspicuously betrayed in the above drawing, two donkeys are working together by a mill and heading towards their own direction with vigorous efforts, dripping with sweat. However, the mill stays still. This drawing seems ridiculous, whereas it arouses people's attention to its implied meaning that in the modern society many people are acting as" donkeys".
Why is there such a phenomenon? A couple of reasons account for it. In the first place, the belief that one should work hard is ingrained in one's mind while effectiveness is neglected. On the second place, it is integration that counts. If the staff and the whole group maintain their personal pace and orientation, it seems likely that a combination of declining results and unexpected factors, along with the decrease in internal driving force of the staff, will virtually drive the company till death.
The best way to avoid the above situation is that management system should be done with overall grasping, scientific decomposition and integrated organization. Besides, there must be a consistent objective which is the foundation of the development of both companies and staff. What's more, for maximum efficiency, both sides should realize the importance of cooperation.
