I mean not every kid on our team is the hardest worker in the world but they won't get away with not contributing at all or even slacking for prolonged periods because they know they can't get away with it. We have a system to keep track of their level of dedication and they earn the right to travel with it. The ones that can't or don't put forth the effort usually drop out
Trust me. It works.
This wouldn't work for us, because our entire team would be gone next year. As sad as it is, I fear we may need to recruit many slackers to collaborate to produce even the slightest iota of work .
