a skilled person and a real conversation. Technology will automate the repeatable. What's left is exactly the kind of high-skill, high-touch work that talented, well-led boxmak- ers are uniquely positioned to do. If we invest in our people now — in developing real tradesmen, in building real leaders — we will be in a better position to adapt to those changes, not a worse one.

We didn't inherit a workforce that trusts easily. We in- herited one that's watching closely to see if we mean it. Every promotion from within is proof. Every hard conver- sation instead of an avoided one is proof. Every standard we hold is proof. So here's my charge — to you, and to myself:
