She spots <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dalecarnegie.com\/blog\/5-reasons-for-productivity-declines\/\">production inefficiencies<\/a> before they become problems.

Just the hum of fluorescent lights and the shuffle of feet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His weekly production meetings have the same hollow quality. He asks questions. Silence.
