A group of managers is given the assignment to measure the height of a flagpole. When they get out to the flagpole, with ladders and tape measures, the difficulty begins. They are falling off the ladders and dropping tape measures right and left. The whole thing is just a mess.
Then an engineer comes along and sees what they're trying to do. Walking over, he pulls the flagpole out of the ground, lays it flat, measures it from end to end, gives the measurement to one of the managers, and walks away.
After the engineer has gone, one manager turns to another manager and starts laughing. "Isn't that just like an engineer? We're looking for the height and he gives us the length."
