Corporate Confliction

Post by MDowell »

So i've spent the past couple years putting together a website that has just recently launched and is emerging in my local area with several large clients already on contract. My conundrum is this... I have a small team working for me, but they, as of late have been working incredibly slow, often with very poor contact with me.

This reflects on me very poorly as the person of contact to be seeing these clients through in the entire process of inventory integration. Anyways, onto the question at hand.

www.DoBeMotors.com - this is the website

I am in the market for new programmers, definitely interested in any options available to me and the company. Do you know of any resources, personnel, services out there that might be of use? I am very briefly versed in PHP and SQL which is the language that everything is written in.. I am even considering taking a few courses to better leverage myself against the features we are adding, the inventory being synchronized... etc etc.

Feel free to PM me.

Thanks.

What I would ask myself is -- is their performance a result of poor project design that needs to be corrected or laziness? Have you talked to them about it? If you've been satisfied with their work up until this point what factors are bringing about the sudden change.

Pretty simple solution in my books, considering you've previously been satisfied with their performance. I would replace whoever is in the team lead role position. If the team still lacks in performance, then consecutively replace individuals or the entire team.

could work... assuming that the "team leader" is not the business owner
