Crew Quality

Debrief every job, give feedback that sticks, train a man until he can teach it, get the one step that keeps biting you onto one page, say the hard thing when telling him again isn't working, handle a bad review without making it worse, and shoot the same photos on every roof so the argument six weeks later is one you can win.

Then about one email a week: a play from the library, now and then a new sheet. Nothing else.

These plays are how we run a shop — they are not legal, tax, or accounting advice. Rules change by state and by contract, so before you act on the legal-sounding parts, run them past your own attorney or accountant. It's your business, and what you do with any of this is your call and your responsibility.
