MSgt Duvernay works in Logistics Readiness vehicle maintenance flight. The flight is responsible for maintaining 127 different makes and models of government vehicles. The vehicles vary from squadron to squadron, and range from bucket loaders, bulldozers and sewer trucks to weapons trailers and ambulances. Due to a recent deployment, shop personnel has decreased and as a result the vehicle-in-commission rate has dropped from 90% to 83%.

You say to SrA Oak, one of your most experienced team leaders and energetic go getter, “Look, I know you made a mistake; I want you to know why. I gave you everything you needed to be successful…the directions, the plan, and even how to accomplish each step. But you decided to do it your own way. This isn’t what I expected. I want you to follow my instructions. To be sure you learned your lesson, I want you to tell me when you’ve completed each step before moving on to the next one.” As SrA Oak departs your office, she wonders why she volunteered to lead this special project in the first place.
