The first solution to Chet’s problem could be to delegate some of his routine work to the office manager, Marilyn. For example, Craig does a plant walk through twice a day to make sure that there are no deviations in the plan. This is a lot of energy that Craig is inputting that could be used towards his creative thinking. Daily routines such as plant walkthroughs can be delegated, so that Craig will only get a recap of the inspection. If there is a deviation revealed by the walkthrough Craig should only then take affirmative action to correct the deviation. A second solution could be to bring in another manager so that Craig can have less subordinates
