Salzburg, inside a hotel. Motriche, an executive of the Austrian Federal Railway Company, was holding a mobilization meeting for the technical staff.
"Listen up, everyone. The board has made a decision. Within the next year, we must connect the railway to Adening."
Those who worked on the construction site were seldom genteel folks, and Motriche didn't beat around the bush; he stated the task straightforwardly.
He was responsible for administrative management, not from a technical background. After spending more than a year in this project group, he knew the progress of the engineering work inside out.
The current progress requirements from headquarters were likely difficult to meet. However, as a qualified manager, he knew not to shy away from difficulties.
The board had made a decision, no matter how immense the difficulties, he must attempt to complete the task. It was a matter of attitude.
