Management skills ...

DS after a while was bored of walking on the trail where no one else walked anymore. There was a lots of good and bad in store on that trail though. One day trail met another end and it was like a well laid highway. There was a different dimension to travelling distance now. It could be done faster and with ease. People were nice and kind and allowed the progression in same lane as long as disciplines were not violated. Compared to the previous trail where every step presented a challenge, this was lot cooler and easier. But crossing in other lanes in this system without proper precautions was a drawback here compared to the trail. A mistake on discipline law ignorant could trigger a cascading effect here. An attempt to avoid that could trigger another effect. It was a catch - 22 in both the situations.

Running on a highway DS didn't realized that speed limits are enforced as well. Compared to trail where bounds  were constrained by the limitations. Interesting point on highways is that enforcer has all the legal rights to break any limit laws. This makes the quest of finding who is right and who is wrong simply converging to the fact that "who holds the power".

Another interesting fact on highway is the competition. The faster one moves, more challenging its for others  which sometimes goes over board and causes more trouble. The worst part ?

You get trapped in such a race with no control on steering or gears!

At some point of time DS found even the worse situation when two racing buffs targeting the same milestone at some point of time realized that its an even match and mere their's efforts are not going to make any difference. At some point of time DS came to know that other driver was unfair and to counter balance the efforts, DS needs to go behind this one and push it hard a bit. Worst part ? DS being judgmental and logical took the most illogical decision of not backing up the driver. Result ? ... someone else is required to provide the push ! .. Worst part ? ... There is a referee in the game, waiting to capitalize on the driver's errors to get onto the lime light. Logical part ? ... Tell the rules governing authorities about the support driver wanted.

Well, Driver is in a soup and other one gets advantage as the mental strength goes down and fuel is drained out. But then race is still even as other driver gets excited and fools around the precious cycles!!! ... Now he demands the push to win it.

Logical choice ?

Ask the referee, show him the limelight which awaits his destiny ...

Solution, .... Other Driver asked for DS which DS refused ... problem ? ... There is a team issue with this driver.

Well, Driver gets a jolt and other driver wins. But problem revelation to governing bodied demands a solution and there has to be one in the making. Given the conditions its easy and driver and DS can be accused of team spirit and coordination lack. Worse part !! ... Referee stands a chance to be the driver if driver can be pushed out of picture ... but how ?

Well, Referee takes a logical decision and informs DS that driver has decided to get rid of him in team as the required push didn't arrive. The other possible pushers are set to cash gold. And when DS is not seeing the bounty, why not set aside the milk and water in the blend ? .... Well, DS refuses to get into anything of that sort ... but then isn't referee a referee ? ..... He reminds DS that its the rule and he is bound to do that ? ...
Well, forced and cornered, DS does that and Referee sends a mail to driver that he has a team person who is revolting against the dynamics of team spirit and needs to be sent out ? .... Moto ? .... DS will get to hear of that and will be forced to safe guard the interests which eventually mean talking to authority which governance rules. This would eventually force driver out and Referee takes the positions ...

Catch !! ... everything happens in background and DS knows nothing. There is a cloud hovering with uncertainty. Outcome of rain or a clear sky is difficult to asses .... Both Referee and Driver are good and kind to DS. Who is screwing who is difficult to judge ...

Clear part ? ..... This is the season of showing ... "Management skills"
