Leave them alone and come back after 6 hours and then analyze the situation.
- If they are counting the bricks. Put them in the accounts department.
- If they are recounting them. Put them in auditing.
- If they have messed up the whole place with the bricks. Put them in engineering.
- If they are arranging the bricks in some strange order. Put them in planning.
- If they are throwing the bricks at each other. Put them in operations.
- If they are sleeping. Put them in security.
- If they have broken the bricks into pieces. Put them in information technology.
- If they are sitting idle. Put them in human resources.
- If they say they have tried different combinations, yet not a brick has been moved. Put them in sales.
- If they have already left for the day. Put them in marketing.
- If they are staring out of the window. Put them on strategic planning.
- And then last but not least. If they are talking to each other and not a single brick has been moved.
Congratulate them and put them in top management
