Garrett Enterprise ? Garrett Enterprise is a well-known company that has been around for many years. However, Mr. Robinson, its CEO, has noticed recently that the company is not performing up to par. He has been watching the employees closely. Mr. Robinson saw that his workers do only what is required and that no one seems to go above and beyond what is necessary. ?

The company has always tried to help its employees through various measures, but recently these measures have been unsuccessful. ? Mr. Robinson also observed that the
employees were not engaging with each other. They all seemed to be at ease with each other, but there was very little interaction.
