Your either new as an employer or your not getting better production

Sure there are always a few in the crowd who take pride in their work
and check their ego/vanity at the door, but the majority need to be
watched over and constantly directed.

The key to utmost productivity is learning each employees strengths
and utilize each for what they are better designed to accomplish.

Simply hiring people and letting everyone be a self starter will cost
you too much in time and money. Employees need to feel their job
is always something that they may lose and that an extra effort on
their part is something they may contribute to possible keep them
from getting the axe.

You can't be everyone's friend and an employer at the same time.
You have to tend your investment with an iron fist and if you want
to be friends with employees then your living in a fictional Utopia.
