"But I'm so busy with meetings!"
Yeah, meetings about problems that you could have prevented just by... walking downstairs. 🚶‍♂️

A quick reality check:
• Your production isn't meeting targets
• Your operators are demotivated
• Your turnover is high
• And you're... in your open-plan office, planning meetings about why 🤦‍♂️

"But they can come to me, right?"

Let me tell you a secret:
The best insights don't come in your office.
You get them among the machines, with your hands in the grease.

Because do you know what happens when you DO go downstairs?
• You immediately see what's wrong
• You hear what's really happening
• You gain trust
• And you save 3 meetings and 12 emails

Here's my "revolutionary" advice:
1. Block out 1 hour every day for the shop floor
2. Ask your operators what they need
3. Solve small things IMMEDIATELY
4. And wow... you suddenly become a better manager

Because the truth is:
Your best meeting room is not on the 2nd floor.
It's among the machines.

And the best part?
You don't just save time.
You also gain respect.

P.S.: When was the last time you were REALLY on the shop floor? (And no, that quick tour for the new client doesn't count 😉)
