How he works
Understand the system. Find the real problem. Put a practical fix in place. Carry it through. Check the result. That is the method on a late construction job, a quality failure, or a line that will not run.
Construction project management. Field leadership. Quality management. Running a shop. Marketing and customer work. Technical troubleshooting on physical work.
