The attendant ran and reported back after few minutes-
“Your Highness, they are tents”.
The King asked again “Where are they from”?.
The attendant ran again and reported back after some
time – “From Persia”
Time management
The King asked again “How many people are
there?” The attendant once again ran to find out
and reported back “675 men”.
“No women?” asked the King and off went the attendant
again. Relentless questions and corresponding trips by
the attendant followed!
Attendant was already getting irritated and started
wondering why the King cannot think cohesively and
ask more questions in one go rather than asking one
question at a time.
The PM had a meeting with the King to know what all he wanted to
know and in addition to that put his own thoughts and plan together
to get some additional benefits for the Kingdom.
