Lesson notes

Most corrections blow up because the expectation was never set — you skipped the dues up front and now you're paying interest. I'll show you how to make the implicit explicit from day one, and how staff KPIs turn shift allocation from 'favoritism' into results nobody can argue with.

After this lesson you'll be able to set expectations early enough that no cut, correction, or schedule change ever comes as a surprise.
