Bryan emphasizes doing quality work without throwing others under the bus when previous maintenance procedures weren’t done very well. He challenges the team not to get bored with maintenance procedures but to dive deeper and find ways to improve each system. The goal is to provide real value to customers while continuously honing their expertise.
