> you have to find how each person behaves. Lots of talk, influence, repeating the same thing every day, etc.
It doesn’t help that most of the management advice you find on the internet assumes that inside every employee is a happy, productive worker and their manager can unlock it with the right words.
In the real world the range of employee types is very large. Some of them are just toxic and you’re not going to coach it out of them. Knowing when and how to cut your losses is important for preserving the rest of the team.

Too right. Hire slow and fire fast was a saying that I saw recently.
