“Sir, I’ve made 80 #calls today.”
Jyoti said it quietly, looking at her #screen. Her #manager didn’t look up.
“Then why are we still at 12% of #target?”
“The #customers are asking the same two questions again and again,” she replied. “Pricing and post-sales support.”
“Those are not excuses. Everyone else is managing.” he said.
She nodded and said “I’ll try harder tomorrow.”
The #meeting ended. Because the comparison itself was #demotivating

Leadership is not about pushing harder. It is about seeing wider especially when numbers are tight. Because when pressure rises, the real test of leadership is not #authority ……it is judgment.
