Prayer for managing.......





The inspiration behind all the bright ideas [sic]

The source of all jargons

The provider of reasons for schedule slippage

The originator of various excel sheets and reports

The foundation of ASAP reminder mails

The spring of eternal meetings

The guide to all low appraisals

O manual for managers, I hail thee.


Lead me kindly, amidst the maze of work,

Lead Thou me on!

I am in the dark, and I intend to be so,

Lead Thou me on!

Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see reason

Lead Thou me on!

To the top, without having to perform

Lead Thou me on!

Redeem my sins by punishing my subordinates

Lead Thou me on!

Riding on others work to managerial heaven

Lead Thou me on!



Amen



P.S: The ''Lead me' verse is adapted from the Lead, Kindly Light written by John Henry Newman and

P.P.S: For best results its been advised to recite the prayer daily preferably during work hours. The manual should be used as pillow for absorbing all the enlightenment available in it.

Apply sick leave to appear for CAT; only to find thy senior behind
Lead Thou me on!

Proudly single still jealous of thy enamored junior
Lead Thou me on!
