Please explain the jokes of three monks.

One monk carries water, two monks carry water and three monks have no water. This is a well-known story. The story is simple, but the moral of the explanation is profound. It mainly shows that if the staffing is not done well, it is likely to make people shirk their responsibilities and lead to the phenomenon that things can't be done well.

Many years ago, there lived a monk in a temple. Every day, he goes far away to fetch water to drink. Later, another monk came, and they carried water to the mountain to drink together. Finally, another monk came, but the three monks pushed him away. None of them wanted to carry water, so none of them had water to drink.

This story often happens in our lives. If the leader entrusts a task to three people and doesn't explain who is mainly responsible for the task, then the task is likely to be poorly completed. They all want to, anyway, I'm not the only one in charge, so I'll just play it by ear. The results made by these three people may not be as good as those made by one person.

People are lazy, and many people will shirk when they do a task. You push me, I push you, and finally, no one knows who will do this task, and then no one will do it.

This story also inspires us that when assigning tasks, we must be consistent in power and responsibility and arrange our respective tasks. In this way, everyone can try their best to do what they should do, instead of thinking about others doing their share. Especially as a leader, we should pay special attention to the appointment of personnel and make effective use of resources.
