Management Lesson: "Be Sure There Is A Problem in The First Place Before Working Very Hard To Solve One."

A bus driver has a problem with a large passenger named Big John who refuses to pay his fare. Each day, Big John gets on the bus, says he doesn't pay, and sits down. This frustrates the driver. Over the summer, the driver takes self-defense courses to build strength and confidence. The next time Big John gets on and says he doesn't pay, the driver stands up to him. Big John then reveals he has a bus pass and was paying after all.
