Roughly halfway through the meeting, Esther noticed something was wrong. It took her a few minutes, but she realized James seemed very distracted. Usually he was a pit bull demanding details and justification as people made proposals.

Today he was observing with a distant look in his face and his questions were sparse.

As she listened to the group talk more it became clear there was another problem. Without her driving discussions to a conclusion the meeting was incredibly boring. People kept repeating each other rather than adding something valuable to the discussion.

However she could not get her company problems out of her mind.

She had tried bribing her techs to enter their time every two hours or at least on a daily basis. She had offered other rewards. She had threatened them. Nothing worked and the company’s system for managing their time stunk.

It was then that she remembered James had talked her out of updating their software a year ago. His firm has been growing, so his way of managing projects must be flawless.

I’ll have to pick his brain today, thought Esther. He sure seems distracted though… maybe he landed a big new contract.
