Rajan managed the Operational Support Department at XYZ company, overseeing customer support, data entry, and related tasks with over 50 employees.
Manish, a Procedures Unit supervisor for ten months, faced challenges like late and error-filled procedural memos.
High quit and absenteeism rates in Manish's unit prompted Rajan to enroll him in a supervisory training program, Advanced Supervisory Techniques, through the Learning and Development (L&D) Department.

Rajan dismissed concerns about the training, encouraging Manish to focus on immediate work tasks despite added responsibilities from the training.
Upon attending the training, Manish learned essential management skills, such as motivation, communication, and coaching techniques.
Manish's excitement about the training diminished when he returned to work, as Rajan ignored his attempts to apply new skills, emphasizing task completion over learning implementation.
