The Norris company
Overview:
Chet Craig is the manager of the Norris Company’s central plant. He had worked hard but not fulfilled his responsibilities as an executive. On a typical day, he arrived at the plant and problems arose one after another. Chet was busy solving all the problems but he did not have time to work on the project which he thought was the most important. He had devoted himself to the company which caused him work-life imbalance and yet not achieved any goal that he planned.
