Noah Richards was a student in Windsor, Ontario who worked for his parents' construction company during the summer months. After he graduated, he went to work for the company on a full-time basis. His parents believed they could now begin thinking about retirement. To groom Noah to take over, they began giving him small management problems to work on. Most recently, they asked him to explore the implications of a supplier being late with some trusses for a house they were working on. While trusses can go up very quickly, the lateness of the delivery meant that subsequent elements of the project would be delayed. In turn, Noah's parents were concerned that the delays could potentially affect the start of the company's next project.
