Once our company had a target to make 50 machines in a week. It was a difficult
task but I handled the whole team and assign the duties to the workers. I made a
budget to earn maximum profits and record the time of production. All the team
members worked as per my strategies and finally, we made 50 designer machines
in 6 days the buyer was very happy to get the order before the due date and our
companyearned doubleprofits.My owner appreciated meand gaveme the award
of the best employee of the month.

prior anything else. Apart from it, they would say I am a good leader,
