Who Thrives in This Role

You treat the product in this building as yours. When something looks wrong, you chase it. You do not need to be assigned a discrepancy to care about it, and you do not hand a problem back up the chain until you have taken it as far as you can.

You coach rather than direct. You would rather build a counter who understands why a variance happened than issue a correction and move on.

You are self reliant, and you take direction well. Those two pull against each other, and we mean both. Give
