Also, good people beget good people, in other jobs I;ve seen good, enthusiastic, capable people get beaten down by the people they worked with, and turned into crap, miserable people like their colleagues. But it works both ways, a good team and a good workplace can lift people too
I am finding this too, and its really true that one negative person can bring the whole teams motivation and productivity down.
At least if someone is bad we just don’t use them again, I would hate to be an employer and have to jump through hoops to try and motivate someone who didn’t want to work well.I know this sounds mercenary but we are judged on how well we do contracts thus if we mess up we lose the contract and no one gets more work from that company, so it has to be this way.
We have the foundations of a really good group of guys and as a result we will all enjoy the fruits of our labour, which will soon involve company trips away etc
