If you have reviewed my previous post on "How to Hire Passionate Employees", then it is also important to make sure you are getting the most out of each employee.  I found the most amazing article to assist business management on how to strategically and properly dismiss a poor performer. I found this interesting because it provides tips on evaluations pinpointing areas of concern and dealing with areas of frustration. Please take the time to review the article as I am sure you will find it to be useful just as I did.
