A new super does not need the whole standards book in week one — they need the life-safety items cold, the top twenty unit cites, and a walking rhythm. Sketch your 30-day plan: what they shadow, what they carry, and the first pre-walk you let them run alone. What did you teach first that you wish someone had taught you?

A new super's first month sets their instincts for years, so I would start where the opening post starts: life-safety cold, because those items cannot wait for judgment to develop. The second lesson is a walking rhythm — a route and a pace that actually covers a building instead of touring it. The standards book can be learned all year; the eyes have to be trained first. What's the first thing you'd teach a new super that nobody taught you — and what do you deliberately save for later?
