Apocryphal management story

When the CEO left the company, he gave his successor three envelopes to open when she encountered challenging problems.

When she ran into trouble the first time, she opened the first envelope and it said to “blame your predecessor.” She did, and the trouble passed.

When she ran into trouble again, she opened the second envelope and it said “Reorganize.” She did, and the trouble passed.

When it happened once again, she opened the last envelope and it said “Prepare three new envelopes.”
