CEO Undercover as Cab Driver Tests Employee Character

  • 2 min read

A visionary company president devised an unconventional plan to personally assess the true character of his branch employees.

An Undercover Evaluation

Seeking to understand the real atmosphere within his company’s branch, a shrewd president took on the guise of a taxi driver. His unusual mission began as he picked up employees, keen to observe their interactions and dispositions when they believed they were dealing with a simple service provider. The first passenger, a company supervisor, immediately displayed a shocking lack of respect, yelling at him to “drive faster” and callously declaring him the “lousiest driver” she had ever met, suggesting he couldn’t “fit in anywhere else.”

Kindness Rewarded

The following day, the undercover president picked up a factory worker, who presented a stark contrast. She greeted him with a warm “Good morning” and genuinely thanked him for his punctuality, radiating kindness and professionalism. Their brief interaction was marked by mutual respect, highlighting the difference in their temperaments. Later, when the kind worker encountered him in the office, she thoughtfully offered assistance, assuming he was a new employee and exemplifying her innate helpfulness.

A Powerful Lesson in Leadership

The truth was revealed when the company manager approached the disguised president, recognizing him with surprise. The president then articulated the purpose of his week-long undercover mission: to evaluate the caliber of his staff. He definitively declared the rude supervisor “unqualified” and ordered her immediate termination, then announced the promotion of the kind factory worker to her position. His final, impactful words underscored the core message: “Certificate can qualify you for a job, but kindness and respect keeps you at it.” This dramatic outcome served as a powerful reminder that true merit extends beyond titles and lies in how one treats others, ultimately leading to a just and uplifting resolution for all involved.
