John Kedwards worked at Headlam Flooring as the commercial manager. He was in charge of making sure everything ran smoothly at the company. One day, John passed his green belt, which meant he had learned a lot and could do his job even better! Everyone was proud of him, but John became very irritating. He started bossing everyone around and acting like he knew everything.

The employees at Headlam Flooring were not happy with John's attitude. They felt like he was not listening to their ideas and was being mean. So, the company decided to bring in another manager named Sam from a different depot. Sam was known for being fair and respectful to everyone.

Sam sat down with John and had a talk with him. He reminded John that being a manager does not mean you can boss people around. It means you need to work together as a team and listen to each other's ideas. Sam also reminded John about how important it is to treat everyone with respect.

John felt embarrassed and realized he had been acting badly. He apologized to his coworkers and promised to change his behavior. From that day on, John started listening to others and being kinder to everyone at Headlam Flooring.

The employees were happy to see John change. They started working together more effectively and came up with great ideas for the company. Headlam Flooring became even more successful because everyone was working as a team and treating each other with respect.

John learned an important lesson about being a good manager. He realized that it's not just about knowing things, but also about being kind and respectful to others. He continued to learn and grow in his role at Headlam Flooring, and everyone was proud of him.
