Waste and variation aren't "part of construction" they're the enemy of safety, quality, morale, and your life at home. In this episode (War Series #9 and the finale), Jason shares a powerful excerpt from Elevating Construction Superintendents and lays out why you must never tolerate anything that doesn't add value. You'll learn what waste and variation actually look like in the field, why discipline is the first countermeasure, and how strategy beats both reckless pushing and fearful over-planning. This is a rallying cry to fight for flow, protect your people, and win the war without brutality. What you'll learn in this episode: The difference between waste (non-value-added) and variation (interruptions to flow) and why both destroy projects The eight wastes: excess inventory, overproduction, transportation, motion, waiting, overprocessing, defects, and unused team skills  Why discipline and standards are the foundation for eliminating waste and stabilizing performance  How to balance planning and attack avoiding both "Custer-style pushing" and "McClellan-style delaying" Why "time of exposure" matters: the faster you advance strategically, the less damage waste and variation can cause What would change if you stopped tolerating waste and variation and started treating them like the enemy of your team's success and your family's time?
