    The new manager graduates from business school without real-world experience dealing with factory or shop floor issues. They come from a middle-class background and are unfamiliar with standing for long shifts or communicating in local languages. They rely heavily on tools like WhatsApp, Facebook, and going back to their faculty for answers rather than dealing with problems themselves. PowerPoint presentations are their primary tool, and they are scared of more analog tools like blank flipcharts and blackboards.
