Yes, some field service inspectors are underachievers … they are below average when it comes to performance. Some doctors are less than average. The definition of “average” often says that half of all field inspectors are below average and half are above average. Field service inspectors seem to fit a normal or gaussian distribution … a bell shape distribution curve.
With training or mentoring, a below average inspector can become an above average inspector. Conversely, an above average inspector can be lazy and become a below average inspector. An educated person can make bad decisions and an uneducated person can make good decisions. Life is all about the decisions you make.
You need to know where you stand in the world. It never hurts to listen to others and make adjustments as necessary. Watch the video and learn from the mistakes of others.
