Corporate Lessons I
A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing
up her shower when the doorbell rings.
After a few seconds of arguing over which one should go and
answer the doorbell, the wife gives up, quickly wraps herself
up in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door,
there stands Bob, the next door neighbor.
Before she says a word, Bob says,"I'll give you 800 dollars
to drop that towel."
After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and
stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands
her 800 dollars and leaves. Confused, but excited about her
good fortune, the woman wraps back up in the towel and goes
back upstairs.
When she gets back to the bathroom, her husband asks from the
shower "Who was that?"
"It was Bob the next door neighbor," she replies.
"Great," the husband says, "did he say anything
about the 800 dollars he owes me?"
The Moral:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and
risk in time with your stakeholders, you may be in a position
to prevent avoidable exposure.
