  assignment

  owner
• On-the-spot/hourly/daily/shift feedback with
  coaching and corrective measures

What This Means

• Even though we grew in a short time, preparing
  for change allowed us to keep our processes in
  check
• Our management infrastructure grew in proportion
  to the size of our field growth
• As projects were added, we recruited, trained,
  and managed the process
