Dear Minister,<\/em><\/p>\n

I was informed that you appointed me as director of the Ministry of Public Works.<\/em><\/p>\n

I thank you for the honour you have given me, but I do not have the technical knowledge necessary for a director of Public Works and I could not, without public damage and reproach of my conscience, take off a load greater than my strength.<\/em><\/p>\n

I therefore beg you to accept my resignation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The letter was written in 1860 by Luigi Settembrini<\/a> and published lately by Massimo Gramellini<\/a> in a newspaper column.<\/p>\n

The journalist’s thinking is the following:<\/p>\n

few people give up a position due to incompetence
\nor a feeling of inadequacy, and they are not easy to find.
\nEspecially among politicians!<\/h3>\n

However, I am pleased to point out to Gramellini that some time ago, I witnessed the resignation of a salesperson who realized that selling was not his job.<\/p>\n

Some organizational circumstances had led him into a role that, despite himself, he had been forced to accept:<\/p>\n

realizing that he could not withstand the pressure
\nand loneliness in the face of the result, he decided to give up.<\/h3>\n

He decided to look for another job before he lost that one.<\/p>\n

The case, in my experience, is unique: and<\/p>\n

certainly not accomplished by a person
\nof high hierarchy and compensation.<\/h3>\n

It would be nice if people with higher education and income, would follow his example and show as much wisdom.<\/p>\n

What is your experience?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
