Writer Alan Fowler tells the story of his brush
with near-disaster when he made his first single-handed selection by
himself. It was for a storekeeper.
Flushed with enthusiasm, he saw
scores of candidates, and then picked the best. Only the guy that
turned up on day one wasn't the person he thought it was. He'd picked
the wrong name!
The twist in the story, of course, is that Alan
was too embarrassed to admit his mistake to his boss, went ahead with
the appointment anyway, and a year down the line discovered that the
firm had the best storekeeper it had ever had. But it was a
close-run thing.
Without his stroke of luck, he could have been
landed with a headache for years to come. And an expensive one as well.
