The New Manager and the Struggling Department

When Priya joined her new company, she was assigned to a department that had been underperforming for years. The team's motivation was low, and they were known for missing deadlines. Yet Priya saw potential and decided to tackle the challenge head-on. She started by listening - she held one-on-one meetings to understand each team member's concerns, strengths, and aspirations.

Then, Priya introduced weekly "goal setting sessions", where team members set small, achievable targets and celebrated each win, however small. She created open channels of communication, encouraging everyone to share ideas without judgment. Priya also arranged skill building workshops, believing that if the team felt equipped and valued, they'd perform better. Slowly, her efforts began to show. Team members felt motivated and started taking ownership of their projects.

Despite some colleagues doubting her efforts, Priya stayed persistent. Gradually, the department transformed. With each little success and Priya's continuous support, the team regained its confidence. Within months, the department was hitting - and even exceeding - its targets. Through Priya's dedication, the once - struggling team became one of the company's most productive.
