The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Over and over in IT projects I have seen that 70% of the crew is made by mediocre, 9-5 people, and only 15% are self-motivated, innovative, hard working and focused individuals, who alone deliver 60% of the project and manage to organize the rest of the troops.

Of course it's impossible to have all Clint Eastwood on board.
At least, try to identify ASAP the Lee Van Cleef, those who strive on lies, bullshitting, fingerpointing, backstabbing etc. and get rid of them.
And make sure your Clints are put in positions of control and responsibility and organize the mass of Eli Wallach.
