An Australian company and a Japanese company decided to hold a boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance. On the
big day the Japanese won by a mile. The Australian team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided the reason for the
crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action.
The consultant's finding: the Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the Australian team had one person rowing and eight people
steering. After a year of study and millions of dollars spent analysing the problem, the Australian team's management structure was completely reorganised. The new structure: four steering managers, three area steering managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentives. The next year, the Japanese won by two miles! Humiliated, the Australian corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.

This is a hallucination and these faces are in a dream. A computer generated environment; a fantasy island you can do anything and not have to face the consequences.
