Again, speaking just for our teams-- if one succeeds, we all succeed.

If one tries to backstab, or doesn't pull their weight, we talk to them about it-- privately.

We tell them it works this way: 3 strikes, and you're out.

First strike is the verbal warning.

Second strike is being written up.

Next time-- Fired.

After a few "talks" (giving them more than one verbal), we write them up.

It seldom goes past that.

If it does, we bring in the Donald.

Or at least, we channel his spirit.

Anyone who works against the team is not missed-- esp if we replace them w/a team player.

PS Great question. Never took this as a flame, or aimed at me. I'll be the first to admit I know diddly about management and team building. I've just had to learn it-- and do it-- to forward my PLAN.
