Corporate Giant's Manager Suffers Heart Attack—What Happened?

A corporate manager was advised by a doctor to spend several weeks on a farm for relaxation after suffering a heart attack. During his stay, he decided to help the farmer with various tasks.

Unexpected Speed

The farmer initially assigned the manager to clean up cow manure, expecting it to take over a week due to the manager's inexperience. Surprisingly, the task was completed in less than a day.

Tackling Tough Tasks

On the following day, the farmer assigned him the job of cutting off the heads of 500 chickens. Despite doubts about his ability, the manager successfully completed this task by the end of the day.

A Simple Challenge

The next morning, the farmer gave him what appeared to be a simple task: sorting potatoes into two boxes based on size. By evening, however, no progress had been made.

When asked why the simpler task proved difficult, the manager explained that although he was accustomed to tough work like "cutting heads and dealing with crap," making decisions was unfamiliar territory for him.
