There’s no point in expecting more than a Camp 1 performance from someone who’s not really into the job he’s working and hasn’t found at least one friend among his colleagues.

A helpful and/or enlightening book, in spite of its obvious shortcomings. For instance, it may offer decent advice in some areas while being repetitive or unremarkable in others.A formulaic approach will determine the matchups for these games using the Group Play standings in each conference (5th-15th). Two of the 22 games will be scheduled cross-conference since there will be an odd number of teams in each conference that do not advance to the Quarterfinals. These cross-conference games will be scheduled between bottom-finishing teams in the Group Play stage subject to travel constraints, and no team will play more than one of its two games cross-conference. The other 20 games will be scheduled within conference featuring teams that are otherwise scheduled to play each other three times over the course of the season wherever possible. At Camp 3, managing is almost unnecessary. These are the employees already enthusiastic about their personal growth and work progress. The only thing they need is stability.

You will have to manage around the weaknesses of each and every employee.
