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.
