One of the toughest challenges of managing/supervising is maintaining discipline when everything is going well. The manager does not have critical, time-urgent tasks in front of his workers that will automatically order the sequence of work.

This lady seems to have a handle on that. I don't think she is broke. Never-the-less, she runs a tight ship. She understands that you communicate EXPECTATIONS by what you INSPECT. She understands that resources are finite, even if it seems like you have a lot. She seems to know that to inculcate those values in your kids that you have to walk-the-talk, even though it might seem academic.
