10% and the shareholders were getting very impatient. The CEO BEGAN to
despair, when he remembered the envelopes the old CEO HAVE GIVEN him.
He went to his office, closed the door and opened the first envelope. The message read, 'Try blaming your predecessor.' The new CEO CALLED a press conference
and tactfully blamed the previous CEO for the company's problems. The shareholders and the press were satisfied with his explanations, and a few weeks later the CEO was relieved to see that sales Have IMPROVED by 12%.
About a year later, the company was having serious production problems. The CEO HAS LEARNED from his previous experience: as soon as he CLOSED
his office door, he opened the second envelope. The message read, 'You ought to reorganize.' He immediately reorganized production, and the company quickly recovered.
