Company's Standard for Selecting Talent

Two company chairmen were having dinner together. One of them curiously asked: "How do you know if the employees you hire are smart enough?" The other smiled and said: "It's simple. I'll demonstrate." He immediately called his manager: "I have a question for you." "There's a person who is your father's son, but not your brother, and not your younger brother." "Who is this person?" The manager answered without hesitation: "Of course, it's me!" The chairman hung up the phone, satisfied: "See? This is my standard for picking people." After returning to the company, The other chairman immediately summoned his general manager. He asked him the exact same question. The general manager thought for a long time and couldn't answer at all. He had no choice but to say: "Chairman, please give me some time to think." He secretly went to ask a supervisor from the adjacent department. Upon hearing the question, the supervisor immediately replied: "This is so easy? Of course, it's me!" The general manager suddenly understood. He excitedly ran back to report: "Chairman! I know the answer!" "It's the supervisor from the adjacent department!" The chairman angrily slammed the table: "Idiot!" "No wonder our company's performance is so poor!" "The answer was clearly the manager from the other company!"
