Sarah looked at the papers on her desk. She felt worried. It was her third day as the new manager. The old manager left many problems behind. The workers were confused too.
"Hold on," Sarah said to herself. She took a deep breath. "I can do this."
Her helper Marcus came into the room. He had bad news. "The Johnson company is angry again," he said. "We might run out of paper by Friday."
Sarah felt scared. But she remembered her teacher's words. She needed to keep her chin up when things were hard.
The next morning, Sarah called a meeting. All the workers came. "I know you hear stories about big changes," she said. "But please take them with a grain of salt. I need time to understand everything first."
Sarah worked very hard for many days. She followed all the company rules by the book. She wanted to fix the problems and help her team trust her again.
By Thursday, Sarah was ready to make a decision. She had a new plan for the work. She called another meeting.
"We will make this department better," she told everyone. The workers looked happy. Marcus smiled at her.
Sarah learned something important. Good leaders stay calm when there are problems. They fix things slowly and carefully.
