The case study deals with the issue of communication. The scenario that is mentioned in the case study is related to the non verbal communication. It highlights one of the aspects of the communication that we often ignore. The scenario of the case is that Sushma works as the project leader in Infosoft Solutions. One day she called her team for meeting at 0800 hours. She has the reputation to reach five minutes before the given time. On the day of meeting due to some circumstances she could not make on time. At around 0805 she was on the gate of her office and rushed towards the meeting room in hurry. In hurry she did not notice that sweepers are cleaning the floor and there is soap on the floor.
