Free The Driven.

The down-markets do have a silver lining for professional services firms: those shops burdened by employees who take their jobs for granted or as some kind of right. Our advice is simple and even very American. First, terminate The Unwilling (note: just fire them, don't kill anyone). Second, unload The Lame.

Sound cruel and flippant? It's not. It's either you or them, Jack.
