That's a great, simple synopsis. And good point about killing the enthusiasm. Seems to happen far too often, doesn't it? I think Jessica Lee actually wrote about that not too long ago. On a side note, I just found your blog the other day, and I love it. Keep up the great work, and thanks for stopping by. - Chris @HR Good Witch – thanks for the comment.

Another version of what you describe is that an employee who isn't performing either: - can't (e.g. lack of skills, knowledge, etc) - won't (e.g. motivation) - or is blocked (e.g. resources) My favorite is when we complain about "deadwood". Um.... who exactly took this healthy vibrant "wood" that we were so excited to hire and killed it?? All good points.
