Re: How do you keep your FIRST team a TEAM?

I fear interviews...

We had 65 sign up this year. We send them all through a little interview, not to cut people but to see what they might be interested in.

As a mentor, I can say that we would have keep some people that were not too interested in the team, and cut some of our best people.

We decided we'll let people's interest fall were it may. MY mentor (a manager here at work) has always said I should worry about the hard working people, and let the non-interested people decide what they want to do on their own.

And out of those 65 people, about 45-50 do quite a bit. I'm impressed.
