You are locked in a darkened room.
There are no windows.
Only one door without a handle with a lock.
A thread of light passes underneath it.
From a corner of the room’s ceiling, a loudspeaker tells you:
“You can only leave the room with a key. I can slip it under the door for you – do you want it?”
You don’t understand anything. You’re cold and scared.
You don’t know how you got there, but it’s clear that you want to get out.
After a few seconds, in a timid voice, you answer yes.
“Good choice” says the hidden voice.
“You have two choices: one of the keys might open the door and the other one sure does” which one do you want?”
It doesn’t take you long to answer: I want the second one please.
“I understand. But, you know: everything in life costs” What a bitch this fucking voice is.
Next, you ask how much they are worth.
As you don’t lack money, you see closer the possibility of leaving.
“The first one is worth €2,000 and the second one is worth €30,000, which one do you want?”
Here you take a few seconds again but you choose the second one and see the key crawling under the door. You put it in the lock by feeling the door from bottom to top, go out the door and … you wake up.
You have to minimize the risks in your company.
Gambling with decisions that might work is not enough. You’ll end up spending more money on what doesn’t work, and then on what really works.
Have you ever had a similar nightmare?
