Rahul is the CEO of Bright Spark Ltd., a company manufacturing LED lighting solutions. The company recently launched a new line of smart LED bulbs with advanced features, expecting a surge in demand. However, after the launch, the sales were not meeting expectations, and employee morale seemed low.

Firstly, Rahul identified that there was a lack of proper communication between the marketing and production teams. He called a meeting to clearly communicate the company's goals and expectations for the new product.
