Ahmad joined a manufacturing team six months ago. Initially, he used to exert extreme effort in order to meet the deadlines timely and efficiently. However, with the passage of time he realized that due to meeting the deadline on time, he is frequently getting the task of teammates which they often do not carry out purposefully on time.
